The mentor of IBF world heavyweight champion Don Charles also mentioned the illegal strike.
Don Charles does not tire of insisting that his protégé delivered an illegal blow in the fight against Alexander Usik, despite the fact that judges, experts and boxing organizations consider the Briton’s blow illegal.
On this basis, the mentor of the IBF world heavyweight champion is demanding a rematch between his ward and the Ukrainian boxer.
“Why not? Daniel once knocked out Usyk And this is a game of two halves although in boxing, unfortunately, there is only one, while in football there are two.
So, we won the first half of the match, considering, let’s say, what happened between Usyk and Daniel. And Alexander won the second half. Daniel proves that he can throw him in the ring. I repeat again: this was a legal blow, but it was decided to take it away from us. So now I demand that they return Alexander Usyk to Daniel,” Charles told talkSPORT.
We remind you that Oleksandr Usyk defeated Daniel Dubois by knockout in August 2023.
Earlier, Dubois’ promoter Frank Warren also challenged Usyk for a rematch with the Briton.
