Usyk first sent Dubois to the canvas, but the younger fighter got back up. The final blow came when Usyk landed a left hand on Dubois' chin. The impact sent Dubois' mouthguard flying, and the referee waved it off.
After the fight, Usyk showed his class. He went over to console Dubois, telling him:
"It's not bad, it's boxing, not ballet, not dancing. Daniel, you're young, you can do it, you can dream. Dude dude, chill out, it's boxing, think it's sport brother."
This display of sportsmanship highlights the respect fighters often show each other after the final bell.
Usyk, known as "The Cat", kept his undefeated record intact. He's nearing the end of his career and might only have a few fights left. When asked about his next move, Usyk said:
"I don't know, Fury, Joshua, Chisora, Parker, now I just want to rest at home with my family."
The champion's immediate plan is to spend time with his loved ones before considering his next opponent.
Dubois, nicknamed "Dynamite", is 11 years younger than Usyk. Despite the loss, he's got time on his side to bounce back and learn from this experience.
In an interesting twist, famous boxing promoter Turki Alalshikh threw a new name into the mix for Usyk's next fight. He suggested Moses Itauma, who holds a 12-0 record. Alalshikh stated, "I want to see Usyk against Itauma. This is the fight." However, this idea is still just early speculation.
As time goes on, more potential opponents might pop up for Usyk. For now, the boxing world will wait to see who the Ukrainian champ chooses to face next.
