How Usyk dismantled Dubois in the 5th round to become 3rd time undisputed heavyweight champion

In front of over 90,000 fans at Wembley, from Ukraine once again reminded the world why Oleksandr Usyk is one of the greatest heavyweights of our time.

On July 19, 2025, Oleksandr Usyk didn’t just defeat Daniel Dubois, he dismantled him.

This was no ordinary rematch. For Dubois, it was a shot at redemption. For Usyk, it was about legacy.

And by the time the fifth round bell echoed through the London night, only one man stood tall in the ring — undisputed and undeniable.

The tension in the air was electric. Dubois walked in heavier, bolder, and visibly charged. He had one mission: to erase the memory of their controversial first bout, where he landed a borderline body shot that many believed should’ve ended the fight. But Usyk wasn’t there to debate. He was there to dominate.

And dominate he did.

From the first round, Usyk painted a masterpiece with his gloves. Every step was calculated. Every jab, a statement. He danced just out of range, lured Dubois in, then punished him with surgical precision. His southpaw stance frustrated the Brit. His left hand? A piston. His eyes? Unflinching.

Dubois threw heavy shots, no doubt. But Usyk had the answers — ducking, weaving, countering. Round by round, he broke the younger man down like a chess grandmaster.
