“How was it and what now?”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
У ніч на 20 липня в Лондоні, Велика Британія, на арені «Вемблі» відбувся другий поєдинок між українським 38-річним чемпіоном WBA, WBC, WBO та IBO Олександром Усиком (24–0, 15 КО) й 27-річним британським володарем титулу IBF Даніелем Дюбуа (22–3, 21 КО).
Historical confrontation for both athletes. For Usik, it was already the third battle for the absolute career championship and the second in the high division. For the first time in his life, Duba Duba competed for the title of Absolute, and this is 27 years old. It turned out exactly as it was for the first time. However, with a faster finale.
Duba was regarded as a top threat. However he did not invent anything as a result Daniel Duba was regarded as a great threat to Alexander Usik. Not as much as Tyson Fury, who was considered a favorite before the first meeting. However, at about the level of the first confrontation between the Ukrainian against Anthony Joshua.
Duba is a younger, aggressive guy. On the eve of the meeting with Usik, he passed three top confrontations. The first was Jarrell Miller, whom Daniel knocked out in the 10th round of the 10th Dround confrontation. Next – Philip Khrgovich. He broke his face to a condition when the doctor advised the third in the ring to finish the duel. The latter in the list is Anthony Joshua. His Duba just knocked out. Moreover, the former United World Champion began to fall at the start of the confrontation and has not finished until it was knocked out.
And Usik did not sit out of business. Dubois is a wonderful series, but Alexander’s victories are more distinguished. The Ukrainian conducted two confrontations against Tyson Fury. In the first he won the absolute championship in overweight – for the first time in 25 years. And later he beat the fury again, making it even more convincing. Such opposition, even with Joshua, was not in Dubo.
Alexander, of course, was considered a favorite, and in deed. However, such a young, strong fighter could not be considered a total outsider. Duba had definitely had a chance. However, this is all theoretical conversations. Many questions can be raised to the duel, and no answers will have any answers. What if Dubois hit? What if the Usik hit? What will happen if this fighter is pressed? And if this is this? All this does not make sense until the fighters went out to the ring. And this time, having gone into the ring, Alexander showed that the main thing is what he knows. And the opponent has to start from it.
Daniel Duba really tried. He went forward from the first seconds, tried to press, smash, combine. Not so much came of this, although it was really dangerous.
2nd, 3rd rounds Daniel again in the attack. He did not leave anything, because when the opponent went to active action, everything broke. Dubois simply did not have time, was too slow, too inaccurate. How to hit the one who is not standing opposite, and fantasies in how to clamp it where it is necessary, not enough?
For what exactly it is worth praising Daniel – for attempts. He tried. I wanted to be closer, attack, beat. However, the further it came, the less prospects. Dubois just didn’t hit. He could not stay closer to him, because he missed. He did not have time from the distance. Entrance? Not so much.
In fact, one. Go to fight with a rival, push, fight. This is Daniel and tried. Severally pushed the opponent, began to pursue him. He closed him in the corner and tried to go to the felling. And he came out with knockout.

Literally in the first strong exchange, Alexander broke the opponent. He hit several times, and he fell near the ropes. He stood up, but again came to the hit – again the knockdown, which became the final. Knockout!
If you say frankly: Usik completely beat Duba. All his efforts were visible. No truly successful attack or close moment. Usik either maneuvered or punched. All the time is not in favor of Daniel.
However, two sidewalks found the British victory-in the 3rd round. Another judge gave the Ukrainian all 3 minutes, but he was the only one. But it did not affect anything – pure knockout, clean victory! Bravo!
What now? Dubois is still boxing and boxing. He was not knocked out. Joseph Joyce injured Daniel face, Usik in the first meeting – forced to surrender. But they were not knocked out. Here is a pure knockout after a heavy blow.
However, this is not the finale. Vladimir Klitschko said that he had a glass chin all his career, and what? Went to a real legend.
British 27, soon – 28. You can box up to 38, as we see in Usika. And up to 41 – as we see in the nickname.
Yes, three defeats. However, two of them are from the legend. They are not condemned for this.
Usika remains one battle. It seems like. Alexander said it after the duel, but pre -voiced this option. He said that another Camp could go through, and later wants to the family. And physically Alexander is not eternal.
If you box, this year. Usik wants to relax for several months and for some time to prepare. So – December. Maximum – January 2026. This is the finale.
Getty Images/Global Images Ukraine It is sad, but better than regret that did not stop on time. Among the options are Joseph Parker, Tyson Fury, Mosnes Ituma, Derek Chisora. Agite maybe, but not so probable. The first is the applicant. The second – he wants to be and says that Usik has won twice. The third wants to see in the ring against Ukrainian Turkey Al Ash-Sheikh. The fourth also wants a revenge because it is the only one who has not won Usik among the British in Hevaeiti. And also because it also has the status of a contender.
In any case, choose a Ukrainian. He has achieved everything in box three times, and he dictated the conditions, not opponents. They should only stand in line and wait for permission.
