Stripped of the championship: the text of Dubois' appeal against the result of the fight with Usyk has appeared

The team of the British Daniel Dubois (19-2, 18 KOs) expressed confidence that the referee should have counted the knockout of the Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) in the fifth round of the fight on August 26. This is stated in the appeal, which representatives of the London native filed with the World Boxing Association (WBA).

Part of the document was published on his page in the social network X, formerly known as Twitter, by journalist Dan Rafael. The text of the protest claims that Dubois threw a legitimate punch, which actually came below the belt, and the referee Luis Pabon let Usyk recover instead of giving the victory to the Briton.

"At about the 20th second of the fifth round, Mr. Dubois landed a body kick that was accurate and seriously staggered Mr. Usyk and apparently made Mr. Dubois the heavyweight champion. However, Mr. Pabon mistakenly considered this punch to be a low blow. Instead of a knockout, Mr. Usyk was given a long recovery period, which allowed him to regain his strength and continue the fight unhindered," the Dubois team noted.

Rafael himself called the document "bullshit from Frank Warren (promoter Dubois. - Ed.). And Usyk's manager Egis Klimas ridiculed his colleague. Recall, the fight Usyk - Dubois ended in the 9th round, when the Briton missed a heavy blow to the head. In total, Oleksandr struck his opponent 88 blows to the body and head.

In the 5th round, the British boxer hit our compatriot below the belt. Some time later there was video evidence that Dubois hit Usyk in the forbidden zone on purpose.

Later, Usyk's catman Anber came to the Sky Sports studio, where he laid out this episode in the fight of the Ukrainian, giving indisputable facts of meanness. The World Boxing Association (WBA) issued a statement on the scandal in the fight between Oleksandr and Daniel. The World Boxing Council (WBC) made a similar move.

As reported by OBOZREVATEL, one of the Russian propaganda media decided to ridiculously hurt Oleksandr Usyk by recalling the "deprivation" of the Ukrainian's championship belt.

In addition, the legendary boxer Roy Jones Jr. found a "vulnerability" of the Ukrainian champion. And the former world champion in the first welterweight Paul Malignaggi called the behavior of Daniel Dubois a disgrace.
