Usyk Responds to Dubois’ Low Blow Claims: “Bro, No”

WBA, WBO, WBC, IBO, and The Ring heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk was asked about the low blow incident from his first fight against IBF champion Daniel Dubois.

– Can I ask you about the first fight with Dubois? He said that Oleksandr knows it wasn’t a low blow.

– What do you mean?

– He said it was a clean body shot.

– Oh, I know, I know. Listen, that’s in the past. Now I have a new fight, I live in the present.

I don’t know what will happen in the future — only Jesus knows that. For me, the past doesn’t matter. Goodbye, thank you, it was great.

Listen, that shot was bad. It’s not my problem. The referee handled the situation the way he did. Daniel said, "Hey, I won." Bro, you didn’t win. I won. Okay?

We have a new fight now. Everything else doesn’t matter.

The fight between Usyk and Dubois will take place on July 19 at Wembley Stadium. In their first bout, Usyk stopped Dubois in the ninth round.
