Oleksandr Usyk secured his legacy as a three-time undisputed champion with a devastating victory over Daniel Dubois under the Wembley arch. It was a brutal display of power and skill in equal measure as the Ukrainian produced the display of his life to claim all the heavyweight belts. It marked a repeat of their previous bout with Usyk claiming his second stoppage victory over Dubois.

The gulf in class was apparent from the first bell, with Usyk putting his superior movement to good use. He wobbled Dubois at the end of the second round and went back in for the kill in the fifth, knocking his British rival to the ground with a flurry of unanswered punches. The referee showed no hesitation in waving the fight off with Dubois looking dazed and confused on the canvas.

It was a performance for the ages from Usyk, who is undoubtedly one of the greatest heavyweights to have ever laced up a pair of boxing gloves. He is set to be rewarded with a massive payday, with the fight purse estimated to be in the region of £150million.
