DAZN pay-per-view footage revealed the moment Dubois' gumshield flew out of his mouth as a result of the brutal KO shot.
Usyk, 38, became undisputed champion for the THIRD time across cruiserweight and heavyweight.
For Dubois, 27, he will now be forced to bounce back after losing his IBF world title.
And promoter Frank Warren pointed to Dubois dropping his hands - out of exhaustion - as the biggest mistake he made in the bout.
Warren said: "That is what Daniel needs to learn from this fight, to try and learn and develop the mental attitude that Usyk has.
"Daniel didn't stick to the task, he got careless, he dropped his hands and paid the price."
Warren revealed the WBO are likely to mandate Joseph Parker, 33, as Usyk's next challenger.
Meanwhile Dubois will build back after suffering his second loss to Usyk and the third of his career.

Usyk wins by KO

"There are lots of fighters over the years who have been beaten and come back even stronger. That is what he has to do.
SunSport reporter Wally Downes Jr gives his verdict on Oleksandr Usyk's stunning KO rematch win vs Daniel Dubois
"He can punch, he can hurt you and it's just developing other aspects of his game. He's got to come back and make a statement."
Warren also said: "He has got to learn from it. He is only 27.
"I look at Frank Bruno for example, three times he fought for a world title and he got it on the fourth attempt.
"Daniel has won a world title so hopefully he will come back, but the bottom line is it was Usyk's night and he is a special, special boxer."

Ian Wright names England's key mistake in first half of Women's Euro 2025 final against Spain
Ian Wright criticised Lauren Hemp 's decision making after the winger missed a golden chance to give England the lead in the first half of their Euro 2025 final with Spain. Hemp found herself with the first clear sight of goal for either side after good work by Lauren James helped hurry Spanish goalkeeper Catalina Coll and turnover possession in the box. The 24-year-old Manchester City forward steadied herself before firing a low shot from a tight angle which Coll saved well with her left foot, when James had been waiting alongside Hemp with a far clearer sight of goal. And the miss proved costly, as Spain took the lead soon afterwards when Mariona Caldentey headed home in the 25th minute. Ona Batlle whipped in a cross from the right, after good work by Aitana Bonmati, and Caldentey steered it powerfully past a stranded Hannah Hampton in the England goal. Wright said it was a huge moment in the half. 'I think she has to pass that,' said Wright. 'If she does, [James] gets a tap-in. An unbelievable chance ... she has to cut that back to Lauren James.' Wright said England were 'off it' in the first period and lacked sharpness to match Spain.

Lucy Bronze sets England record during Euro 2025 final vs Spain with Harry Kane trailing in her wake
LUCY BRONZE broke an England record and moved further clear of Harry Kane in the Euro 2025 final. Bronze, 33, was named in the Lionesses starting XI today for the clash against Spain. 2 It meant that Chelsea 's right-back won her 140th cap for England. And it moved Bronze up to joint-fourth in the most capped players charts behind only Fara Williams, Jill Scott, Karen Carney and level with Alex Scott. Peter Shilton, who played 125 times for England, is the highest capped male player. Bronze 's appearance in the final was also her 36th at a major tournament for the Lionesses. That is the most of all-time across both the men's and women's teams. Kane is the highest man on the list with 29 matches played at World Cups and Euros. Bronze's outing against Spain is also her 16th at a Women's Euros. That sees her leapfrog ITV pundit Carney for most games played for the Lionesses at the tournament. Aside from winning the 2022 Euros and making the 2023 World Cup final with England, Bronze has had a glittering career at club level. She has lifted the Women's Super League four times with Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea. And she has won the Champions League five times during her spells with Lyon and Barcelona.
