Oleksandr Usyk’s crushing left hand which flattened Daniel Dubois looked even better from ringside.
On Saturday night, Usyk showed why he is king of the heavyweight division by dispatching of Dubois in front of 90,000 fans at Wembley Stadium.
In their first fight the referee ruled a shot from the Londoner as a low blow, following a medical time out Usyk won the bout via knock out.
The debate continued among fans and boxing pundits on whether or not it was indeed a low blow from their maiden 2023 encounter.
But it quickly became apparent that the Ukrainian great would be putting to bed any criticism of his previous win.
The fifth round of their sequel saw Usyk first clatter Dubois to the canvas in the biggest breakthrough of the fight.
Despite Dubois clambering back to his feet, he was on borrowed time and an earth-shattering left hook put Dubois away as he failed to beat the count.
It saw him crowned a three-time undisputed king of the sport, and registers him as an all-time great.
In new ringside footage of the fifth round shot shared on DAZN’s X account, it’s clear why the Ukrainian has a place in boxing’s pantheon.
Sound of the crunching blow resonated around the ring, and drew a huge roar from the crowd.
It was clear just how staggered Dubois was by the shot, as he looked helplessly to his corner.
The towel also came in from trainer Don Charles signalling that his charge had taken enough punishment, just moments before the referee called it a day.
A packed out stadium erupted as Usyk tearfully fell to his knees in victory.
His road to undisputed saw him first claim the title at cruiserweight.
The London 2012 Olympic gold medallist then made history by becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion in a quarter of a century.
The first in the four-belt era, when he initially defeated Tyson Fury last year.
On Saturday night, after defeating Dubois he became a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion.
They traded heavy punches, but it was Usyk’s precision that made the difference.
It was flooring Dubois twice that put any doubts about his credentials firmly to rest, along with any debate over his greatness.
Usyk’s feat in becoming a three-time undisputed king is staggering, and his domination of the division shows no sign of letting up.
