Oleksandr Usyk delivered a stunning fifth-round knockout against Daniel Dubois at London’s Wembley Stadium on Saturday, securing his place as the undisputed heavyweight world champion.
The 38-year-old Ukrainian boxer, who already held the WBA, WBC, and WBO titles, added the IBF belt to his collection after overpowering his British rival in front of a roaring crowd. With this victory, Usyk extends his undefeated professional record to 24-0.
Usyk showcased his trademark precision and composure, dropping Dubois early in the fifth round. Just 1 minute and 52 seconds into the round, a powerful left hook ended the contest, with Dubois unable to recover before the referee’s count.
In a moment of celebration, Usyk dropped to his knees before joyfully declaring, “38 is a young guy, remember!” — a nod to critics who questioned his age heading into the bout.
The emphatic win solidifies Usyk’s legacy in the heavyweight division and positions him as one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters in the world.
