Daniel Dubois' trainer has accused Oleksandr Usyk of conning the referee the first time the two heavyweights squared off.

Usyk, who holds the WBC, WBO, WBA, and IBO titles with an undefeated 23-0 record, including 14 knockouts, told The Ring, “I have a weakness, but no one will ever know what that weakness is apart from me.

Daniel Dubois believes that the officials were influenced by the politically charged occasion in his defeat against Oleksandr Usyk in 2023.
