Description

Daniel Dubois, a British boxer, claimed that he was "cheated" out of victory against Oleksandr Usyk after a controversial low-blow call by the referee. Dubois attempted to land a big uppercut, but Usyk's reflexes showed little sign of waning despite him entering the latter part of his 30s[6]. However, the referee called a brutal body shot a low blow, which led to Dubois losing the fight. This decision was controversial, and many fans believed that Dubois was robbed of a win against Usyk.

The controversy surrounding the low blow call sparked polarized reactions on Twitter, with some questioning the legitimacy of the call and hailing Dubois as the rightful victor. Fans flooded the comment section to chastise Usyk for cheating, with some accusing him of faking a low blow during his rematch with Anthony Joshua. Despite the controversy, Usyk retained his three titles, but the victory came in controversial scenes after one questionable punch.

The controversy surrounding the low blow call has led to calls for a rematch between Dubois and Usyk, with Frank Warren, Dubois' promoter, demanding a rematch.
