The first round passed without bright moments, but already in the second round, the Ukrainian champion launched a successful attack with a left straight. Dubois responded with an uppercut.

Although few believed in Dubois' possible victory from the very beginning, the Briton proved that he is a worthy opponent and managed to knock Usyk down in the fifth round. However, the referee announced that a low blow had been delivered.

After the fight resumed, Usyk first hit Dubois with a left straight, and then launched a successful attack with a left hook. The British fighter, in turn, responded with a punch after the bell.
