Daniel Dubois can come again and develop into a world champion once more, however he might want to be taught from his nemesis Oleksandr Usyk.
Dubois was headlining at a raucous Wembley Stadium for the second time in a row when he rematched Usyk, this time for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world.
However the Ukrainian dissected Dubois’ assaults and, after dropping him within the fifth spherical, coldly dispatched the Briton with a hefty southpaw left hook, a shot which he’d codenamed “Ivan”.
Dubois had inherited the IBF title that Usyk had vacated earlier than the Ukrainian’s rematch with Tyson Fury final yr. However the 27-year-old had knocked out Anthony Joshua to show himself on the high degree and his promoter Frank Warren believes he can develop into a world champion once more.
He’s in any case younger, particularly for a heavyweight, with loads of years left within the sport.
“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,” Warren stated.
“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.”
The promoter added: “That is what Daniel needs to learn from this fight, to try and learn and develop the mental attitude that Usyk has.
“Daniel did not follow the duty, he received careless, he dropped his fingers and paid the value.”

Usyk revealed a hilarious nickname for his knockout punch after his dominant victory over Dubois
Dubois will take a minimum of six months earlier than coming again, to verify he recovers totally.
“For Daniel now, he’ll have a little break, think about things and he has got to resurrect himself,” Warren stated.
“There are lots of fighters over the years who have been beaten and come back even stronger. That is what he has to do.
“He can punch, he can harm you and it is simply growing different facets of his recreation.
“He’s got to come back and make a statement.”
