The trainer of heavyweight Daniel Dubois told Oleksandr Usyk that he “conned the boxing world” when the two champions met in London before this summer’s undying title fight.

In August of this year, pound-for-pound champion Usyk defeated Dubois in a ninth-round stoppage, but he was struck by a body shot, which was later downed as a low blow.

On July 19th, they will compete in a rematch at Wembley Stadium, this time for all four world titles.

Usyk asked the Londoner to sign the images at a press conference on Tuesday, giving them to Dubois a series of images that showed a punch landing angle below the belt-line.

Coach Don Charles expressed regret on behalf of Dubois, saying, “It’s disappointing me that you would go as far as to bring one of those photos.”

“You ought to be awarded an Oscar for that performance. You made fun of the referee. You conned us, man. You conned boxing, “you fooled the world.”

A smirking Usyk responded, “You should teach your fighter to punch clean.”

A bored Usyk abruptly rose up to say, “Thank you everyone, but the low blow conversation was dominant throughout the news conference. We’ll visit a training camp. I’ll see you later.

Promoters Alex Krassyuk and Frank Warren patiently waited for the fighters while they sat at the top table for about 30 minutes.

After finishing the performance, a lively Dubois, wearing an understated tracksuit, jogged onto the stage and waved to Warren.

Showman Usyk congratulated his team, bowed to about 50 media figures, and sang along to a Ukrainian song.

He sat down and began quietly reciting prayers while wearing a combat-like vest and clutching rosary beads.

Unsurprisingly, the conversation from 21 months ago almost immediately exploded into flames.

“That was an illegal blow as I sit here now, for the entire day. The navel is worn wherever you go, not the belt line, according to Warren.

Usyk continued to pray while he was bored and later placed his head on a table. Then, with Charles’ son, heavyweight George Fox, he engaged in another verbal conflict.

Usyk suggested to Fox that they should engage in a “street fight” with four of their respective teams on Monday.

When Usyk defeated Tyson Fury in May of 2024, he became the first four-belt heavyweight champion in the sport.

Unbeaten in 23 professional fights, Usyk is a former undisputed cruiserweight champion and Olympic gold medalist.

The Crimea-born champion’s two victories over Tyson Fury established his generational legacy and have the potential to be legendary.

Dubois promised to “put him to sleep” despite his unmatched technical prowess.

In his previous three fights, Dubois has impressive stoppage victories over Jarrel Miller, Filip Hrgovic, and Anthony Joshua, who has already won two titles, in a vein of his fighting prowess.

“I’m on fire right now,” I declare. I’m all set to go and just pent up. There will be bloodbath in the aftermath. I’m going to end all the controversies and nonsense. He declared, “I am a man of the future.”
