Oleksandr Usyk defended his heavyweight title against Daniel Dubois with a fifth-round KO at Wembley
Usyk cemented his place as one of boxing's greats with the win to become a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion.
The Ukrainian kept his heavyweight belt by dominating the rematch of their controversial 2023 fight.
The 38-year-old Usyk is now the first boxer in the four-belt era to become an undisputed champion three times.

Usyk reclaimed the IBF title, which was stripped from him just weeks after unifying the division in 2023.

He has added it to his WBA (Super), WBO, and WBC belts.

Usyk who beat Dubois in 2023, extended his record as a professional to 24 victories.

"I'm sorry [Dubois], it's sport. My people wanted this win. 

"Nothing is next. It's enough. Next, I want to rest. My family, my wife, my children, I want to rest now. Two or three months, I want to just rest."Usyk told DAZN.

Meanwhile, Dubois said he gave his best during the fight.

"I have to commend him on the performance, I gave everything I had. Take no credit away from that man, I'll be back," Dubois said after the defeat.

Dubois - who beat Anthony Joshua to defend his IBF title in September - tasted defeat for the third time in 25 contests as a professional, with each of those losses coming inside the distance.
