Promoter Frank Warren intends to continue to seek justice
Frank WarrenBritish heavyweight promoter Daniel Duboissaid he would appeal the decision W.B.A. on the dismissal of an appeal against a fight with the holder of the WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO heavyweight titles Alexander Usik.
“We will continue to fight this and we will continue to try to do the right thing for our man.”
Previously, the WBA ruled that the result of Usik’s fight with Dubois – a knockout in the ninth round – remains valid. The International Official Commission also found no clear and convincing evidence that the referee’s decision was incorrect.
Let us remind you that in the fifth round of the Usik-Dubois fight, the Briton struck the Ukrainian in the groin area. Alexander fell to the canvas, the referee recorded a low blow, giving the Ukrainian time to recover. According to Dubois’ team, the shot was clean. Daniel himself believes that he was deprived of a legitimate victory and demands revenge.
At the end of the eighth round, Usyk knocked down Dubois, but the Briton managed to get up and continue the fight. And in the ninth round, the Ukrainian knocked out the Briton after another accurate blow.
For the Ukrainian undefeated boxer, this victory was the 21st in the professional ring, the 14th time Usik finished the fight ahead of schedule. Dubois suffered the second defeat of his career.
