Oleksandr Usyk defeated Daniel Dubois in an spectacular rematch. The Ukrainian became the first undisputed world heavyweight champion, claiming the WBA, WBO, WBC, and IBF belts. It took Usyk only 15 minutes to win!

The fight began with the expected pressure from Dubois. Remembering the controversial moment with a low blow in the first fight, the British boxer tried to work the Ukrainian's body from the first rounds, using his size advantage. Usyk, in turn, acted cautiously, working on the legs.

The first three rounds were more about tactical fighting, but Usyk was still more convincing.

The turning point in the fight came in the fifth round. Oleksandr began breaking down the British's defense with multi-hit combinations.

The British boxer started to absorb more clean shots, slow down, and lose confidence. This led to two knockdowns and a knockout.
