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 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.
