Winner of his compatriot Anthony Joshua last September to win the IBF belt, Daniel Dubois intended to take his revenge at home this Saturday, in a Wembley acquired in his cause. Two years earlier in Wroclaw in Poland, it was in the controversy that the Englishman had wobbled against Oleksandr Usyk, then holder of the WBA, WBO and IBF belts. So the interested party was hungry for revenge in his London lair.
Alas for him, the story has repeated. Ukrainian undisputed world champion, the Ukrainian has retained his titles by inflicting an unexpected ko on his opponent in the fifth round. At the height of the domination of Daniel Dubois, when he himself seemed to the edge of the rupture, the colossus of Simferopol split a marvel of hook to dry his valiant opponent.

Fallen in two stages, the Englishman was counted without real reaction in stride, completely hacped despite the supported support of 100,000 spectators. Result, a 23e Career victory – including 14 before the limit – for an Oleksandr Usyk still undefeated to date from the top of his 38 years. With its 22 successes, including 21 early, Daniel Dubois once again made a beautiful challenger. But it was in front of his Ukrainian scarecrow that he concedes the second setback of his career there.
