"I got a fine": Usyk-Dubois fight caused offense to former world champion
British boxer Joe Joyce (15-1, 14 KOs) admitted that he was almost disgusted when he watched the fight between Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) and Daniel Dubois (19-2, 18 KOs). The 37-year-old former World Boxing Organization (WBO) world champion was unhappy that his compatriot, whom he knocked out in 2020, had previously had the opportunity to fight the Ukrainian.

Usyk got it from Dubois
Joyce said this in an interview with Boxing Scene. He accused the World Boxing Association (WBA) of failing to protect his rights when he held the organization's gold belt in 2019 and excluding him from the number of contenders for the full title, which Usyk took from Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22) in 2021.

Du Bois made a dirty attack
"It was disappointing that the guy I beat convincingly got a chance before I did. And it bothers me that I was once a WBA gold champion, got penalized, and then fell completely out of the WBA line of contenders. I could have gone that route, but I chose the WBO route and I'm in the same position again," Joyce said.
We would like to remind you that the Usyk-Dubois fight ended in the 9th round when the Briton missed a heavy punch to the head. In total, Daniel missed 88 punches to the body and head from the Ukrainian.
