FANS were left gobsmacked after catching a new angle of Oleksandr Usyk's brutal knockout of Daniel Dubois in their heavyweight world title rematch.

And Usyk's trusty left hand that finished Dubois was caught close-up on an epic ringside video.
Incredible new footage from DAZN 's social media account show a raw clip of Dubois' final fall - seconds after he initially beat an eight count.
As the pay-per-view cameras were set up inside the ring, fans have been treated to a fresh worm's-eye view perceptive from underneath the last blow.
Dubois had Wembley on their feet when the crowd thought he had Usyk cornered, before the tricky Ukrainian side stepped his way out of it.
And before anybody knew about it, the relentless 38-year-old, who remains undefeated in 24 fights, clipped Dubois with a crisp right hand to the temple for the first knockdown.
Brave Dubois rose from the canvas and began throwing punches to settle himself in front of 90,000 raucous fans in North London.
But seconds later Usyk picked him off, lining up a powerful high left hook to Dubois chin, which toppled the 27-year-old bigger man over on his back.
The Londoner was stunned as he laid spread out on the canvas, propped on one elbow before his corner threw in the towel as the referee reached the count of nine.

And fans were stunned by the new angle, with one writing: "Usyk made him bow."
While another said: "Love the close-up footage."
A third added: "No one on the planet can live with this guy."

Usyk vs Dubois round by round as brutal knockout cements Ukrainian's place in history
OLEKSANDR USYK cemented his name in the list of all-time boxing greats as he became a three-time undisputed champion with a fifth round knockout win over Daniel Dubois.
Usyk dropped Dubois multiple times as he put any doubts about his first win over the Brit to bed by cementing the repeat and avoiding the revenge.
Here, SunSport's Jack Figg gives his round-by-round verdict...
ROUND ONE
Usyk looks light on his toes, swaying side to side, Dubois plants his feet and walks forward.
Stiff jab from Usyk appears to almost wake Dubois up and the Brit responds with a one-two.
Usyk searches to the body with a left, blocks a right hand from Dubois and ends the round with a menacing combo.
Usyk 10 Dubois 9
ROUND TWO
Dubois lunges in with a right hand, Usyk expertly takes half a step back and responds with a counter left.
Another right misses from Dubois and he takes a left cross which has him on shaky legs.
Already Usyk is finding his rhythm, making Dubois miss and certainty making him pay.
Usyk 10 Dubois 9 (Usyk 20 Dubois 18)
ROUND THREE
Usyk staggers back after a right hand from Dubois - maybe more off balance than hurt.
Dubois charges forward with a left hook, right hand but Usyk covers up well.
Huge left hook lands on the button from Usyk, sweat sprays off Dubois face.
Usyk 10 Dubois 9 (Usyk 30 Dubois 27)
ROUND FOUR
Right uppercut lands on Usyk's belt-line in a genuine case of dejavu from low-blow gate in their first fight.
Dubois traps Usyk in the corner, lands a right but the Ukrainian legend slips off before any troubling damage can be done.
Left hand lands for Usyk but Dubois grabs on and closes the distance, smart defence to cap off his best round so far.
Usyk 9 Dubois 10 (Usyk 39 Dubois 37)
ROUND FIVE
Right hook followed by a left hand lands for Usyk has Dubois teetering backwards.
Dubois comes forward, charging at Usyk and the two trade off in the corner but DOWN GOES DUBOIS after a counter right hook.
He makes it to his feet but is dropped with another left hook and the fight is over! Dubois fails to beat the count and Usyk is once again undisputed heavyweight world champion.
Usyk wins by KO
Usyk, who crumbled to his knees after making more history, later had the press conference in stitches when he revealed his unique nickname for the kind of left hook he used.
The heavyweight champion, who holds all the belts again, actually calls that punch ' IVAN' because it reminds him of tough, big men living in villages at his home country.
Undisputed first at cruiserweight, Usyk, became the first undisputed heavyweight champion in a quarter of a century, and the first of the four belt era, when he beat Tyson Fury last year.
He never lost the IBF championship in the ring, but couldn't make a mandatory defence of that title when he went into an immediate rematch with Fury.
That saw Usyk vacate the IBF belt ahead of his second points victory over Fury and Dubois, previously the Interim titlist, elevated to full champion.
A third career defeat leaves Dubois in a difficult position and requiring another rebuild.
The Brit has not beaten a champion to claim a world title - he won the interim IBF belt and was subsequently elevated to full world champion before making one defence against Joshua.
WBO interim heavyweight champion Joseph Parker was also keeping a close eye on proceedings as he seeks a date with the champion next.

Luke Littler skipping event and makes cheeky joke after finding out where it is

LUKE LITTLER plans to take a short break from darts and is not tempted to make a trip into enemy territory this week. The Nuke won the £200,000 World Matchplay in Blackpool on Sunday night and then marked the occasion by playing his Xbox computer until '3am or 4am'. 5 The arrows will be left in his case now as he intends to 'chill out' at home in Warrington following his fifth major TV success in 15 months. As he pointedly said: 'I can't wait to go home and back to normal reality.' It is a richly-deserved week off after managing to add another trophy to his superb CV. He celebrated lifting the Phil Taylor Trophy for the first time by posing for photos on stage with his parents, girlfriend Faith and management. People probably underestimate the mammoth effort it takes to win a darts major these days. Especially in hot and sweaty conditions at the historic Winter Gardens venue and given it was only his second tournament appearance. Given the physical and mental effort required, it is why he normally takes a week off after the top TV events and prefers to forgo the ProTour circuit, which is held behind-closed-doors. On Tuesday and Wednesday there are two Players Championships in the German city of Hildesheim. Yet there is ZERO chance he will play in them, even though the points would improve his ranking position ahead of the Players Championship Finals at Butlin's Minehead in late November. As it stands, he is ranked joint 11th on the ProTour money list with £132,500 against his name. In his post-final press conference, Littler said he would return to the oche for World Series of Darts trips to Australia (August 8-9) and New Zealand (August 15-16). One journalist asked the teen sensation: 'And then ProTour (on) Tuesday?' Littler feigned mock surprise and said: 'Is there? Is there?' Dave Allen, the PDC Head of Media, injected and said: 'It's in Germany.' Littler, who hails from Warrington, joked 'Is it?' before adding: 'Nah, nah. Maybe if it was Wigan. Maybe.' It was all said in a funny fashion but it showed his intention not to play any events until he flies Down Under. Part of the reason why he would not have fancied a visit to Germany just now is the bad reaction he gets from the fans there. 5 5 When he played in the Berlin Premier League on April 3, he was booed by the German punters. It also happened during the German Darts Grand Prix over Easter in Munich when he was beaten in the semi-finals by Gian van Veen. After that event, emotion got the better of him and he posted on Instagram: 'Shouldn't of been in Munich but had to play anyway, next one in Germany for me is Dortmund and I am glad to say that.' Littler and Luke Humphries teamed up together to play for England at last month's World Cup of Darts and were strong favourites to lift the team title. But they were dumped out of the quarter-finals 8-4 by the German pairing of Martin Schindler and Ricardo Pietreczko in Frankfurt. The reception they got was ear-splittingly noisy and winning in Germany is something Littler will have to overcome in the next few years, especially as the country is a powerhouse of the sport.

England star Hannah Hampton reveals family heartbreak before Euro 2025 heroics and hidden kit tribute in emotional post

ENGLAND hero Hannah Hampton has revealed that her grandfather passed away just two days before the start of Euro 2025. The goalkeeper saved two penalties to help the Lionesses to European glory once again on Sunday. 1 However, she revealed after the historic win that she had been grieving the death of her grandfather. Hampton penned an emotional message on Instagram which read: "Two days before the biggest tournament of my life, you left. "It still doesn't feel real. I kept thinking when I'd call nannie I'd hear your voice again - one of your jokes, or one of those little comments you'd make that somehow said everything without saying much at all. "You were one of my biggest supporters. You believed in me before I even knew what this journey would look like. You were always there - watching, encouraging, teaching. You taught me so much, not just about football, but about life. About staying grounded, working hard, being resilient and doing things the right way. "I miss our chats. I miss you saying 'Only us athletes understand' — always with a little smirk like you were in on something special. And you were. You got it. You understood what this meant to me. You understood what it took." THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
