Daniel Dubois can come again and change into a world champion once more, however he might want to study from his nemesis Oleksandr Usyk.
Dubois was headlining at a raucous Wembley Stadium for the second time in a row when he rematched Usyk, this time for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world.
However the Ukrainian dissected Dubois’ assaults and, after dropping him within the fifth spherical, coldly dispatched the Briton with a hefty southpaw left hook, a shot which he’d codenamed “Ivan”.
Dubois had inherited the IBF title that Usyk had vacated earlier than the Ukrainian’s rematch with Tyson Fury final 12 months. However the 27-year-old had knocked out Anthony Joshua to show himself on the high degree and his promoter Frank Warren believes he can change into a world champion once more.
Following his beautiful knockout victory towards Dubois, Usyk jokingly disregarded Joseph Parker’s suggestion of a combat between the pair sooner or later
He’s in spite of everything younger, particularly for a heavyweight, with loads of years left within the sport.
“He has bought to study from it. He’s solely 27. I have a look at Frank Bruno for instance, thrice he fought for a world title and he bought it on the fourth try,” Warren mentioned.
“Daniel has gained a world title so hopefully he’ll come again, however the backside line is it was Usyk’s evening and he’s a particular, particular boxer.”
The promoter added: “That’s what Daniel must study from this combat, to attempt to study and develop the psychological perspective that Usyk has.
“Daniel did not follow the duty, he bought careless, he dropped his palms and paid the value.”
Usyk revealed a hilarious nickname for his knockout punch after his dominant victory over Dubois
Dubois will take no less than six months earlier than coming again, to ensure he recovers absolutely.
“For Daniel now, he’ll have a little bit break, take into consideration issues and he has bought to resurrect himself,” Warren mentioned.
“There are many fighters through the years who’ve been overwhelmed and are available again even stronger. That’s what he has to do.
“He can punch, he can harm you and it is simply growing different facets of his sport.
“He is bought to return again and make a press release.”
