The referee ruled it a low blow and told Usyk to take his time as he remained on the canvas grimacing and shaking his head, with the round eventually continuing. Dubois, who lasted longer than expected but took some big blows with blood oozing from his nose early in round nine, said the blow was legal. The Ukrainian said he was now ready to fight WBA heavyweight champion Tyson Fury if the Briton was willing. "The strength of our people as mighty as Oleksandr Usyk, the strength of our friends as solid as Daniel Dubois."

Dubois was kidnapped in Mali in 2021, while Woodke was kidnapped in neighbouring Niger in 2016. "After several months of efforts, Nigerien authorities obtained the liberation of the two hostages from the hands of (JNIM), an active terrorist group in West Africa and the Sahel," Niger's interior minister Hamadou Adamou Souley told journalists at the airport, flanked by the two men. French President Emmanuel Macron thanked Niger for its help in securing the Dubois's release. "I’m gratified & relieved to see the release of U.S. hostage Jeff Woodke after over 6 years in captivity," Sullivan said on Twitter. Those groups have repeatedly declared French citizens in West Africa to be targets since a 2013 military intervention by France drove them back a year earlier.

Here's why now is the best time to start a business for young people and two Gen Z entrepreneurs who have done it. New ventures in copywriting, social media management, and virtual assisting have been among some of the most successful, Mawhinney said.
