"Maybe we have three choices, Derek Chisora and Anthony Joshua. Maybe Joseph Parker. Listen, I cannot now say because I want to go back home." Usyk - who beat Chisora behind-closed-doors in 2020 - is set to be mandated by the WBO to fight Parker. The all-time great spent agonising months away from his family to train out in Valencia.

'There's only one man, G K all day every day.' Dubois, 27, bounced back from stoppage losses to Joe Joyce and Usyk to become IBF heavyweight world champion. But after being dropped twice and stopped in five rounds, he said: "I have to commend him, I gave everything I had. "There were some things I could have sharpened up on, but I'll be back. I was in a fight, I was trying to pick it round by round, but it is what it is, I'll be back." 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 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

Tyson Fury's instant reaction to Oleksandr Usyk victory speaks volumes
The 'Gypsy King' was quick to share his thoughts after his long-time rival destroyed Daniel Dubois on Saturday night at Wembley Stadium Tyson Fury has issued his instant reaction to Oleksandr Usyk 's victory over Daniel Dubois, once again insisting he won the two fights with the Ukrainian. Usyk and Dubois clashed for a second time on Saturday night at Wembley Stadium in front of over 90,000 fans. From the off, it was the Ukrainian who was the aggressor and it was evident he was chasing an early knockout. 'Triple D' showed glimpses, but the 'Cat' well and truly lived up to his nickname, using his quick feet to avoid any trouble. Dubois got dropped despite having Usyk backed against the ropes. He beat the count, but immediately walked onto a brutal left counter from the Ukrainian. The Brit failed to get up, forcing the referee to wave off the contest. The 38-year-old veteran claimed the undisputed heavyweight title for a second time - and it remains to be seen what is next. It seemed as if Usyk's long-time rival Fury would be in attendance on Saturday night after attending a pre-fight event at Wembley, but the 'Gypsy King' was seemingly nowhere to be seen. Rather than watching the dust-up ringside, the Morecambe brawler decided to go for a run, but was quick to share his thoughts on the bout in a video uploaded to his official Instagram page. "Massive shout out to Oleksandr Usyk. He did a fantastic job performance tonight over Daniel Dubois," he began. "They came for a good tear up. So, congratulations to both men. But, Oleksandr Usyk knows there is one man who can beat him. I did it twice before and the world knows it. I have been f*****. "I took it like a man. Here is me... not f****** around at some boxing match. I am out on the road running. I am running tonight. I came home. I did my job and I got myself back. I am the man. I am the f****** spartan. And no matter what anyone wants to say, I f****** won those fights. Guaranteed. 100 per cent. There is only one man! Get up!" He captioned the post: "@usykaa congratulations. There's only one man who can beat you again and that's a Gypsy K Tyson Fury done it twice regardless of what the politics say!" Both Fury and Usyk went head-to-head twice last year, with the latter winning on both occasions. The two stars first met in May 2024. In an epic back-and-forth showdown, the Ukrainian would go on to get his hand raised via split decision. Seven months later, the pair were back in the ring. The 'Gypsy King' was a lot more aggressive, but once again suffered a defeat on points to Usyk. Speaking on his future following his victory over Dubois, Usyk said: "Thirty eight is a young guy, remember... 38 is only the start." Usyk said. "This is for the people, it's for our world's people. This is enough. Next? I don't know. I want to rest. I want to go back home to my wife, my family." Pushed on who he could fight next, Usyk added: "Maybe Tyson Fury. Maybe Derek Chisora. Maybe Anthony Joshua. Maybe Joseph Parker." When is Tyson Fury's next fight? Following the announcement of his return to the ring, British boxing sensation Fury revealed that his third bout with Usyk is set for 18 April 2026 at Wembley Stadium. The 36-year-old shared a fight poster featuring him and the Ukrainian on Instagram, captioning it: "April 18, 2026 Wembley Stadium. The trilogy! UK. contact @spencerbrownmrgoldstar for tickets." After going 24 rounds with the Ukrainian, the 'Gypsy King' remains adamant that he at least won the rematch back in December. 'My last fight was a clear f****** victory for The Gypsy King. Anybody in boxing can see that. A complete load of dogs ***," he said. 'I want a fair fight, I don't want any favours, I want a fair fight and a fair result. Which I know I didn't [get]. I thought I won it by five rounds. I watched it 250 times. Each way I never see it as a way for him to win. They can do what they want. If they say it's Tuesday it's Tuesday.'

Jake Paul insists he will fight Anthony Joshua as Tyson Fury makes prediction
Jake Paul insists he will fight Anthony Joshua and hopes to do so at Wembley, where he says he will beat the former heavyweight champion. The social media star has built a professional boxing record of 12-1, with his only defeat coming by split decision to Tommy Fury in 2023. His victories have come against a mix of MMA fighters, boxers long past their best and journeyman professionals. However, he wants to step up to the elite level and take on Joshua (28-4) at heavyweight and is adamant that he will get his wish. 'It's gunna happen,' Paul told talkSPORT. 'I want it to happen here [Wembley], all the odds stacked against me. 'I believe that I will beat him, shock the world and create one of the biggest upsets in boxing history.' He also told DAZN: 'We're going to do the unthinkable and create one of the biggest fights in the history of boxing. 'It's not even about it being realistic or not, it's going to happen. Fasten your seatbelts or whatever and when I knock him out I go down in the history books forever.' Paul was in attendance for the Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois bout at Wembley for the unified heavyweight title on Saturday night. Tyson Fury is coming off back-to-back defeats to Usyk and he has weighed in on a possible Paul vs Joshua bout, claiming to be extremely confident in the man who would be a huge underdog. 'I think Jake Paul knocks the motherf***er out! Why not?' Fury said. 'Seriously, I think Jake Paul chins AJ if they fight. 100 per cent. If they fight, I'm putting £1m on Jake Paul.' Reacting to Fury's faith in him, Paul said: 'I saw that! He's backing me. He's a smart lad.' Joshua has not fought since being stopped by Dubois in September last year, but has been linked with facing Fury next year. The most powerful man in boxing, Saudi powerbroker Turki Alalshikh, is also on board with a Paul vs Joshua contest. Asked by TalkSPORT of the possibility of the bout, he said: 'We are talking now about the future, let's see. Why not? It's a win-win deal.' Speaking about his own future, Fury (34-2-1) confirmed the least surprising news imaginable, that he intends to return from his latest retirement, set to box again next year. Speaking at a Goldstar Promotions event, the Gypsy King said: 'I do miss it, every single day I wake up in the morning and miss it. I've been away seven months, missed it everyday. I'm open to offers at the moment. More Trending 'I'm not going to be doing any comebacks this year, that's for sure. I'm busy as you can see I've got Netflix here. 'I'm filming At Home With The Furys season two and then next year the big GK is going to make a f***ing comeback. 'The takeover! I'm gonna be 37 in about three weeks so I'm going to be the oldest swinger with all these young boys coming up it's going to be difficult. But I believe I can put on some very good nights still.'
