DAZN pay-per-view footage revealed the moment Dubois' gumshield flew out of his mouth as a result of the brutal KO shot.
Usyk, 38, became undisputed champion for the THIRD time across cruiserweight and heavyweight.
For Dubois, 27, he will now be forced to bounce back after losing his IBF world title.
And promoter Frank Warren pointed to Dubois dropping his hands - out of exhaustion - as the biggest mistake he made in the bout.
Warren said: "That is what Daniel needs to learn from this fight, to try and learn and develop the mental attitude that Usyk has.
"Daniel didn't stick to the task, he got careless, he dropped his hands and paid the price."
Warren revealed the WBO are likely to mandate Joseph Parker, 33, as Usyk's next challenger.
Meanwhile Dubois will build back after suffering his second loss to Usyk and the third of his career.

"He can punch, he can hurt you and it's just developing other aspects of his game. He's got to come back and make a statement."
Warren also said: "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.
"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."

Oleksandr Usyk officially ordered to fight Joseph Parker after seeing off Daniel Dubois
Oleksandr Usyk has officially been ordered to fight Joseph Parker, his WBO mandatory challenger, after regaining undisputed status in the heavyweight division. Usyk, 38, stopped Daniel Dubois for the second time on Saturday (19 July), regaining the IBF title and retaining his other belts at Wembley Stadium. The result kept the Ukrainian unbeaten, and talk quickly turned to his next challenge. In the ring after the London bout, Usyk faced off with YouTuber -turned-boxer Jake Paul, who talked up an MMA fight, while Parker also spoke to Usyk. A few weeks before Saturday's event, however, Tyson Fury announced he was ending his retirement with an eye on facing Usyk in April, having already lost to the southpaw twice. But the WBO has now officially ordered Usyk to box New Zealand's Parker, who retained the WBO interim title by knocking out Martin Bakole in February. That fight took place after Parker's planned clash with Dubois collapsed on two days' notice, with the Briton citing illness. The WBO said in a statement on Thursday (24 July): 'The WBO has officially ordered negotiations for the mandatory heavyweight title bout between Oleksandr Usyk and Joseph Parker. 'Both parties have 30 days to reach an agreement, or the WBO will proceed to a purse bid. Let the countdown begin.' Usyk could avoid the fight by relinquishing the WBO title, should he wish to take on a different test. Last year, after he outpointed Fury in May to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 24 years, Usyk gave up the IBF title. With that, he avoided a mandatory defence of the IBF belt and was able to partake in his contractually mandated rematch with Fury. In December, Usyk outpointed the Briton again, retaining the unified belts. This week, Parker's coach Andy Lee, who was one of Fury's coaches in his two bouts with Usyk, revealed what it would take to beat Usyk. 'What we work on in the gym is being ready at all times and body language in the ring, and keeping your feet in a position where you're always ready to punch,' Lee said on DAZN's Ariel x Ade show. 'If you are resting and you are taking a break, you don't show it; you look as if you are ready to attack and you're ready to punch. That's basically what we do, and that's what Usyk does. 'Usyk feeds off his opponent's breaks. When they look to take that little switch, he'll attack them. He can pressure, pressure, pressure, feint with his magic wand right hand, and he just burns them up. 'They are mentally exhausted as much as physically. And then when he wants to rest, he can move and dip and dive under the big guys' punches.' Usyk's victory over Dubois, 27, not only made him a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion, but also a three-time undisputed champion overall. Previously, the Ukrainian reigned as the only undisputed cruiserweight king of the four-belt era. He also won Olympic gold at London 2012. At Wembley, Usyk stopped Dubois in the fifth round, dropping the Briton twice en route to victory. He similarly dropped Dubois twice and stopped him in their 2023 fight in Poland.

British star calls for Claressa Shields rematch despite major setback
Savannah Marshall has revealed she is still targeting a rematch with Claressa Shields despite losing her world title to Shadasia Green earlier this month. Marshall and Shields fought at the O2 Arena in 2022, with Shields winning on points to avenge an amateur loss to her rival a decade earlier. The Brit has since called for a second shot at Shields, but was beaten by Green in their super-middleweight clash on the undercard of Katie Taylor 's trilogy fight with Amanda Serrano. Marshall admits this may have damaged her chances of getting back in the ring with Shields, but insists it remains one of the biggest fights in women's boxing. She told BBC Radio Tees: 'My fight with Claressa is 10 times as big as Claressa versus Shadasia Green. 'I just want that Claressa rematch. I really do.' Marshall remains the only fighter to beat Shields, with the American superstar set to be back in action this weekend to defend her heavyweight titles against Lani Daniels, live on DAZN. Should Shields come through that, Marshall believes a return fight with her nemesis is still on the cards. 'I've waited two and a half years, coming up on three years, for that rematch,' she added. "Now I've lost my world titles and I've been beaten, it's probably less likely to happen. But I do think it's still an option, especially with the Netflix platform.' Marshall turned 34 in May and there has been some speculation she could retire after losing to Green. But the ex-world champion insists she is not ready to walk away from the sport just yet. Marshall explained: 'I remember my first amateur coach saying to me 'You will wake up one day and you just won't want to do it any more'. "But this is the train I'm on at the minute. It hasn't stopped yet.'

'I cannot see any logic' in Wilson talks
We asked you for your views on West Ham being in talks with striker Callum Wilson, who is a free agent after being released from Newcastle this are some of your comments:Lee: Will West Ham never learn? They have continually bought 'sicknote', older strikers who are past their best, on really high wages with no resale value. They inevitably fail and just sit on the bench draining the club's bank account. Another typical David Sullivan Absolutely not. He is too old and too injury prone. We're meant to be building for the future and reducing the average age of our starting XI. Two centre-forwards with a combined age of 65 makes no sense I think he'd be a great signing to have if we put him on a pay-as-you-play contract as he just can't keep fit to warrant £150K a week. Just look at Danny Ings, who we just got rid of because he couldn't keep This is a backwards step. We should be looking at young, hungry players, not an old crock looking for a final payday. He is always injured so I cannot see any logic if this signing goes This potential signing is so typical of the way West Ham operate. A cheap, ageing, injury-prone striker who is well past his best. Surely the club can find a more pacey, hungrier and younger player, who has a future and one we can develop. This is exactly the reason why we won't progress as a club while these owners are at the I know we have an Ings-shaped hole but that doesn't mean we have to fill it. The manager (and fans) want a young squad to nurture. We absolutely don't need a striker who has seen his best days on what would be big wages. Please let us learn from the disaster signing of Ings. Give us fresh, young, hungry Yet another over-the-hill, injury-prone striker to add to our list. At least he can keep Niclas Fullkrug company in the treatment room. When will we ever learn?
