Charles believes in Tyson Fury’s victory in the second fight, which will take place on December 21 in Saudi Arabia
Don Charlescoach of the IBF heavyweight belt holder Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KO), stated that he holds the WBC, IBO, WBA and WBO heavyweight belts Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) cheated in a fight with his ward, although he considers him a great fighter of his generation.
“Usyk is phenomenal. He is a great fighter of his generation, no matter what happens next. But when it comes to what happened to us in Poland – I’m not a bitter person, but I just don’t like guys who cheat. And they cheated on us in that battle.”
“However, look where we are today. And we are flattered by the opportunity to rematch him if he succeeds in the fight with Fury. But I don’t believe that Usyk will do this a second time. I think Fury will beat him. But if not, then Daniel should fight Usyk, and we enjoy this chance.”
On August 26 last year in Wroclaw, Usyk fought with Dubois. In the fifth round, Usyk found himself on the floor after Dubois hit the Ukrainian below the belt.
The referee gave Alexander time to recover, after which the fight continued. Dubois said the hit was clean and he was deprived of a legitimate victory.
At the end of the eighth round, Usik 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.
Dubois defeated Joshua in a fight that took place in London on Saturday, September 21. Daniel knocked down AJ three times and knocked out his opponent in the fifth round. Dubois defended the IBF title, which he received after Usyk abandoned it.
On the night of May 18-19, Usik inflicted the first defeat in his professional career on Tyson Fury in a fight that took place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). The victory was awarded to the Ukrainian by a split decision: 115-112, 113-114 and 114-113.
An agreement has been concluded between Usik and Fury for a re-fight. The “Gypsy King” has officially activated the rematch option. The second fight between Alexander and Tyson will take place on December 21, 2024 in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia).
