Oleksandr Usyk became the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world for the second time with a masterful fifth-round knockout of Daniel Dubois.
The Ukrainian dominated his British opponent in every round in front of 90,000 fans at Wembley.
This was Dubois’ chance to get revenge after being floored by Usyk in the ninth round in 2023 but it wasn’t to be for Dynamite.
The 27-year-old was unable to get in range to land his crushing punches and was ultimately outfoxed by Usyk, 38, who remains undefeated in his professional career.
Usyk, who has now beaten British stars Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, and Dubois twice each, retains his reputation as one of the best to ever do it.
Mail Sport’s Jeff Powell was in attendance at Wembley and this is his scorecard.

Round 1 – If anything Usyk received a more reverential welcome not the ring than the local boy who had already made good on his dream of becoming a world champion.

Round 2 – There was meatier menace in the Dubois lunges but Usyk was not to be found so easily as Anthony Joshua when Dynamite blew him away.
Usyk 10-9
Round 3 – Dubois enjoyed some success at the start of the third but three or four dazzling combinations sent his sweat flying as another round slipped away.
Usyk 10-9

The Ukrainian was dominant and won every single round on Jeff Powell’s scorecard
Round 4 – Dubois seemed to have forgotten about the weakness in the Usyk body he had supposedly exposed with that debatable low in the first fight – but when did throw once to the solar region the Ukrainian shrugged it off and returned to work with lefts and rights.
Usyk 10-9
Round 5 – Dubois was supposed to be the one needing an early finish but Usyk delivered the fifth round knock with laser ferocity.
Two lefts and a right for the first dropping to the canvass. A veritable barrage to finish the young man off. Wow.
