The countdown is on this week, as Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois go head-to-head once again on Saturday, July 19th, in London, England. Both fighters will meet at Wembley Stadium in the second chapter of their history, following their last clash back in 2023.
The Ukrainian fighter Usyk beat the Brit in a ninth-round knockout, which was dominated by a controversial low-blow punch from Dubois. With that all behind, though, Dubois has a second opportunity to have a shot at beating the undisputed champion who holds the WBA (Super), WBO, and WBC belts.
Speaking to Northern Ireland fighter, Carl Frampton ahead of the fight, he discussed the disputed 'low-blow' punch in question: "II thought it landed precisely. We worked on that shot over for a long time in camp, so we pulled it off and I feel like they robbed me out of that.", said Dubois.
Frampton also cast doubt on the referee's decision: "I have a theory on the fight. I think that I think he played to the referee, obviously being close to home, and I think that he was hurt with a shot, but used his experience, which I think for him was the right thing to do."
Usyk had no questions over whether he would get up if the referee started his count after that punch in his interview with Frampton: "If the referee starts counting one, two, three, I wake up. Not a problem for me. Listen, it was in the past for me. I live now, present."
Dubois, however, touched on the topic of how body punches could potentially be Usyk's weakness in the ring: "There might be", Dubois said when Frampton quizzed the English fighter on the topic, "I think he's been down a few times with body shots. So, yeah, there's definitely, this time I got to throw the kitchen sink at him, you know, land everywhere."
