Does world heavyweight king Oleksandr Usyk, 22-0(14), have some unfinished enterprise with Daniel Dubois, the present IBF belt-holder? Some followers imagine so, in fact, as a result of “was it low, was it not low?” shot Dubois landed on Usyk of their struggle in August of final yr, Usyk taking place in that fifth spherical and being given time to recuperate by the third man within the ring. To today, loads of folks – Dubois and his promoter Frank Warren included – really feel strongly Dubois was cheated out of a legit stoppage win.
It appears this challenge won’t ever absolutely go away. Which is why Usyk’s supervisor, Egis Klimas, says a rematch with Dubois is “good” for after Usyk has crushed Tyson Fury a second time, which in fact Klimas is definite would be the case on December 21. There could or will not be a 3rd struggle between Usyk and Fury written into the contract, however Klimas says the one struggle left for an Usyk who will probably be 2-0 over Fury is a return with Dubois.
“When Oleksandr beats Tyson the second time, there will probably be no extra attention-grabbing boxers left in his weight class, aside from Daniel Dubois. He’s the IBF title holder. Many individuals nonetheless keep in mind the primary struggle and that controversial blow,” Klimas stated when talking with Champion. “It could be an ideal rematch, a struggle for the title of absolute world champion.”
So even Usyk’s supervisor refers back to the physique shot/low blow punch from Dubois as a controversial second, though, in fact, Klimas feels his fighter gained the struggle, no ifs or buts. However a return between Usyk and Dubois will surely be attention-grabbing. Dubois appears to have improved a heck of loads since being stopped within the ninth spherical by Usyk. His KO wins over Filip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua has impressed us all.
Can Dubois, 22-2(21), enhance on his earlier exhibiting in opposition to Usyk? May one other powerful struggle with Fury take one thing out of Usyk with Dubois capable of capitalize?
If it was all the way down to you, fellow struggle fan, which struggle would you fairly see a victorious Usyk take subsequent yr: a 3rd struggle with Fury or a second struggle with Dubois? Or would possibly we really get each fights?
