DANIEL DUBOIS has plummeted down the Ring Magazine’s heavyweight rankings following defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.
Dubois was knocked out in round five by Usyk at Wembley – two years after losing in the ninth to the Ukrainian.

Usyk has retained his spot at the top of the Ring’s heavyweight rankings with Dubois dropping to fourth from second.
Tyson Fury remains the No1 rated challenger behind Usyk – despite announcing his retirement in January.
One fan fumed: “How is Tyson Fury still number 1?”
Another raged: “Why is Tyson Fury even in the rankings? I thought he retired.”
Fury, 36, was twice beaten by Usyk, 38, but revealed he will make a return to boxing in 2026.
Joseph Parker, 33, is the Ring’s No2 rated contender and has now been mandated by the WBO to fight Usyk next.
In third is Agit Kabayel, 32, the WBC’s interim champ unbeaten in 26 bouts.
Anthony Joshua, 35, is yet to return since being KO’d by Dubois last September and finds himself fifth in the ratings.
