Usyk conclusively ended the bout in Dubois’ hometown, showcasing remarkable skill and strategy in just five rounds.

“This is just the beginning. Thank you, Wembley. I desire nothing more; this moment is sufficient.

I wish to take a break now. I look forward to spending time with my family, my wife, and my children.

I hope to relax, but possibly – in a couple of months – no, I just want to rest.

Perhaps next, it could be Tyson Fury, or Anthony Joshua, or Joseph Parker. I can’t commit to anything right now as I long to return home.”

Dubois remarked: “I must commend him for his exceptional performance. I harbor no ill will towards him. I will come back.

I fought hard, striving to win every round.”
