Victorious Usyk's status undisputed

OLEKSANDR Usyk destroyed Daniel Dubois inside five rounds to leave no doubt as to his standing among the heavyweight greats.

- BY MARTIN DOMIN

Usyk dominated from the opening bell as Dubois struggled to solve the puzzle in front of him. And he came unstuck in the fifth round when Usyk dropped him with a right hook. Dubois recovered sufficiently to beat the count but he was flattened again seconds later from Usyk’s other hand - and this time there was no getting up.

"Thirty eight is a young guy, remember... 38 is only the start." Usyk said. "This is for the people, it's for our world's people. This is enough. Next? I don't know. I want to rest. I want to go back home to my wife, my family."

Pushed on who he could fight next, Usyk added: "Maybe Tyson Fury. Maybe Derek Chisora. Maybe Anthony Joshua. Maybe Joseph Parker."
