Oleksandr Usyk knocked out Daniel Dubois to reclaim his status as undisputed heavyweight champion.
The Ukrainian virtually dominated their bout from start to finish at Wembley Stadium in London, leading to him dropping Dubois during the fifth round.
The Brit managed to get back up to his feet, but was then floored with another big shot, with Dubois unable to get back up this time around as Usyk claimed the round five knockout win.
One man who was vocal throughout the build up to the fight was former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellew, who took on Usyk himself in November 2018.
Usyk picked up an eighth round knockout win on that occasion to retain his undisputed cruiserweight titles in what would prove to be Bellew’s final fight before hanging up his gloves.
Speaking on social media after Usyk’s triumph over Dubois, Bellew said ‘don’t be shocked’ by the outcome of the fight.
“Don’t be shocked! Just appreciate what you’re witnessing! 👏👊👏
#GenerationalGreat”
It’s currently unknown what Usyk’s next move will be, with a number of options out there for him, including mandatory defences with the likes of Joseph Parker and Derek Chisora, rematches with Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua, new challenges in the shape of Agit Kabayel, or even retirement if he deems there is nothing else left for him to prove in the sport.
While no decision has yet been made on who he will take on next, the Ukrainian made it clear in his post-fight interview what his first choice would be.
