The bout started with Dubois attempting to establish his jab; however, Usyk quickly countered with his agile footwork and precise punches. The 38-year-old southpaw made it clear from the beginning that he was not going to be an easy target. Despite Dubois' efforts, Usyk’s experience and skill shone through as he connected with powerful counters that left his opponent visibly shaken. By the fifth round, a solid right hand sent Dubois to the canvas, and upon his recovery, a left hook ended the contest, leading Dubois’ corner to throw in the towel.
Post-fight, Usyk expressed his desire for a much-needed break with his family, while Dubois, now with three losses in his career, reflected on his performance and vowed to return stronger. With the victory, Usyk regains the IBF title and adds it to his collection of WBA (Super), WBO, and WBC belts, solidifying his status at the top of the heavyweight rankings. Future matchups are anticipated, including potential fights with Tyson Fury, Derek Chisora, and Joseph Parker, as Usyk continues to dominate the boxing scene. Meanwhile, Dubois must reassess and strategize his way back into title contention after facing another challenging setback.
