It should be noted that Usyk made a splash at The Ring ceremony, winning three awards in 2024. In particular, Oleksandr was named the best boxer. After the show, the Ukrainian left a message for the public in which he recalled the events in our country.
Dubois challenged Usyk.
Usyk also puzzled journalists with his appearance. On the sidelines of the show, our compatriot was threatened with revenge by the British holder of the International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs). At the same time, the head of the General Directorate of Saudi Arabia for Entertainment, Turki Al-Al-Sheikh, announced his intention to organize a rematch between the British and Ukrainian.
It will be recalled that Oleksandr defeated Daniel by TKO in the ninth round in August 2023, and the Briton scored with a dirty punch below the belt.
Fury and Usyk had their second fight.
In turn, British boxer Frazier Clark (8-1-1, 6 KOs) called on the Ukrainian to end his career.
