Oleksandr Usyk, immediately after the fierce rematch with Daniel Dubois, in which the Ukrainian secured victory, made a statement from the ring at Wembley in London.
RBC-Ukraine reports the words Usyk spoke right after the bout with the British fighter.
Usyk’s first words after the fight with Dubois
"38 is not old. It’s just the beginning! I want to say thank you to God, the Holy Mary, and all of you, Wembley," Usyk said.
Usyk dedicated this victory to "all the people."
"I’m going home to my family, to my children, to my wife," Usyk replied when asked about his plans.
Usyk also hinted that his next fight will be against Tyson Fury. This sets up a likely trilogy with the "Gypsy King." However, a possible bout with New Zealander Joseph Parker for the WBO title defense remains an option.
"I want to thank all of Ukraine, the guys defending our country. I have received countless messages from soldiers in various units currently on the front line. Guys, you are incredible; you allow me to be here now. Glory to Ukraine!" Usyk said in Ukrainian.
The crowd reacted to the Ukrainian boxer’s words with loud applause and cheers in support of Oleksandr.
How the Usyk – Dubois 2 fight unfolded
The fight began as a tactical battle, with Usyk appearing more convincing.
The turning point came in the fifth round, when the Ukrainian found his rhythm and started breaking down Dubois’s defense with his signature combinations.
Oleksandr’s speed and intelligence became an unsolvable challenge for the British fighter, leading to several knockdowns and ultimately, a knockout.

Epic trilogy with Fury: pros and cons
In fact, this is the most obvious, logical, and commercially attractive move. The score between the two modern-day titans, Usyk and Fury, currently stands at 2-0. Their fights are not just matches but a chess game between two completely different styles and personalities that have captivated the entire world.
Arguments for and against
A trilogy between these two great boxers will finally determine the strongest fighter of the generation and forever enter the annals of boxing history.
Such a mega fight will generate even bigger purses than the previous two and could become one of the highest-grossing bouts in history.
At the same time, organizing a fight of this scale again involves complex negotiations, scheduling, and aligning interests.
However, as is known if the bout is agreed upon, it will most likely take place in London. Earlier, the British fighter proposed holding the fight on April 18, 2026, at Wembley.
