Records of Usyk and Dubois
The Ukrainian champion has fought 23 times in the professional ring. Usyk has won all of them, including 14 by knockout.
He earned the WBA, WBO, and IBF belts in the heavyweight division after his first victory over Anthony Joshua in September 2021. In May 2024, Usyk defeated WBC champion Tyson Fury and became the undisputed world champion. In June of the same year, the Ukrainian boxer voluntarily vacated the IBF title. In December, he confirmed his championship status under the three other versions in a rematch against Fury.
Dubois has a record of 24 fights, with 22 wins (21 by knockout) and two losses. His first defeat came in December 2020 via a 10th-round knockout by fellow Briton Joe Joyce. The second loss was in August 2023 to Usyk, when the Ukrainian secured a stoppage victory in the 9th round.
Following that defeat, Dubois won three consecutive fights. His most recent victory, over fellow Briton Anthony Joshua, earned him the IBF world championship title.
