The world heavyweight title, currently held by Dubois, was handed to him after his win in the interim fight was upgraded to a title victory. Usyk was the IBF Heavyweight Champion, but he was forced to relinquish his belt after choosing a rematch against Tyson Fury over giving the obligatory challenger a go at taking away the title.
