Oleksandr Krasyuk, promoter of the WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, responded to the desire of the British team Daniel Dubois to rematch with the Ukrainian. " Of course, sometimes it happens that you land an illegal hit somewhere.. This is fine. But if you keep doing it systematically, then you have some kind of dirty plan.. Boxing is pure art. This is a pure sport and should remain so.. That's why this guy should deserve a rematch,"

Recall Usyk knocked out Dubois in the ninth round and defended the WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF heavyweight titles.. However, it was not without controversy.. In the fifth round, the Briton hit the Ukrainian below the belt with a powerful blow.

Because of this, the referee gave Usyk a few minutes to recover, after which Alexander got to his feet and the fight continued. After the fight, Dubois said that he was stolen from the victory. According to the British boxer, his blow hit Usyk not below the waist, but exactly in the stomach.. British promoter Frank Warren announced his intention to appeal the result of the fight and demand a rematch. Earlier it was reported that Usyk wittily commented on Dubois' scandalous low blow.
