Oleksandr Usyk (36 years old) retains the WBA heavyweight title. The protest from the entourage of Danielle Dubois (25 years old) was rejected. Dubois was furious with the refereeing decision – a hit below the belt or not? However, the WBA does not see enough evidence to change the outcome. Therefore, nothing stands in the way of a great camp between Usyk and Tyson Fury.
In the fifth round of the bout, Dubois had his opponent wincing in pain. According to Usyk and the referee, Dubois hit below the belt. So Usyk was given several minutes to recover, but Dubois disagreed. After the match, the Briton and his entourage pointed out that it was definitely not a blow below the belt and that he should have gotten the victory due to the knockout. They felt cheated and demanded a rematch. Watch the controversial moment below.
look. The moment in question: Was Dubois’ hit below the belt or not?
About two weeks later, DuBois and co. The verb matches the word. They are officially appealing to the World Boxing Association (WBA) in hopes of overturning the result and scheduling a rematch.
That question has now been answered: the IBF sees no reason to change the outcome. “There is no clear evidence that referee Babon’s decision regarding Dubois’ strike was wrong.”
Usyk eventually won the camp via ninth-round knockout. The Ukrainian has held the world heavyweight title since September 25, 2021, by defeating Anthony Joshua. Since then, the Ukrainian has won several championship belts (WBA, IBF and WBO).
Now nothing stands in the way of a showdown between Usyk and WBC champion Tyson Fury. Something every boxing fan looks forward to. There may already be an agreement. Either at the end of December or early next year. location location? Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
