As we head, we expect, anyway, right into a rematch between heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and IBF belt-holder Daniel Dubois, Dubois’ coach Don Charles was requested some questions concerning the first combat the 2 had, this in Poland in August of 2023. And as soon as once more, the physique shot knockdown/low blow knockdown concern was a matter of debate.
Nonetheless, Charles is adamant that his fighter was robbed of a legit win. When requested if he thinks Usyk would have been in a position to rise up earlier than the depend of ten in that fifth spherical, Charles stated “no,” this when talking with Field Nation. Usyk “wouldn’t have made a depend of 10,” Charles says. “Usyk’s central nervous system was shut down.”
“I can solely say what I noticed stay,” Charles stated when he was requested if he feels Usyk would have been in a position to beat the depend had the referee began counting as quickly as he went down in spherical 5. “No, he wouldn’t have made a depend of 10. His central nervous system was shut down. I’ve spoken to consultants who perceive the anatomy of the human higher than me. And we studied it, they usually talked me by it, what was occurring to his physique – he went in spasm. However nonetheless, that’s up to now. If that’s Daniel Dubois’ subsequent combat [the rematch] we’ll be sure that when he will get hit, there’ll be no debating. Will probably be conclusive, and causes past doubt. That’s our purpose.”
So, no matter what you consider the legit knockdown/low blow episode, we now head into, maybe, probably the most fascinating heavyweight rematch that’s at the moment on the market. And Dubois, who has gained a lot expertise and, crucially, a lot additional confidence since August of 2023, would possibly simply have the ability to give Usyk, who is 2 years older or thereabouts and is, by his personal admission near the top of his profession, the hardest combat of his profession.
38 yr previous Usyk, 23-0(14) has stated he needs the rematch, whereas 27 yr previous Dubois, 22-2(21) clearly needs it. And we followers wish to see it.
Will or not it’s repeat or revenge if/when this return combat takes place?
