Oleksandr Usik won the title of absolute world champion after defeating Daniel Dubois by knockout in the 5th round of the fight.
The fight took place for the title of absolute world champion in the heavyweight division under the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO versions. It was a rematch: for the first time boxers met in the ring in August 2023 and then Usik knocked out Dubois in the 9th round. Usik regained the IBF title, which he had to give up because he failed to make a mandatory title defence at the time, and defended three other titles.
