Oleksandr Usyk Regains Undisputed Heavyweight Title with Knockout

In a remarkable display of skill and resilience, Oleksandr Usyk reclaimed his undisputed heavyweight title after delivering a decisive knockout to Daniel Dubois in their rematch held in London on July 19, 2025. This victory not only reinstated Usyk as the champion but also solidified his position in boxing history, as he successfully defended the WBA, WBO, and WBC titles while also regaining the IBF belt that had previously been stripped from him.
