Daniel Dubois and Tyson Furys uncles | Boxing News

Peter Fury disagreed with Daniel Dubois’ verdict that he was robbed in opposition to Oleksandr Usyk. The 27-year-old was defeated by the Ukrainian of their 2023 conflict by way of a ninth spherical knockout, 4 rounds after Dubois floored the Olympic champion with a punch that was adjudged to be a low blow.

While Dubois was adamant that the shot was legal and above the belt line, it wasn’t the opinion shared by referee Luis Pabon, who gave his opponent ample time to get better with Usyk spending a number of minutes on the canvas earlier than struggling to get up in an effort to proceed the battle. The 38-year-old managed to complete sturdy and ended up knocking out Dubois, who has repeatedly known as it a “robbery”. While the Londoner has gone to win the IBF heavyweight title after sensationally knocking out Anthony Joshua final September, he is on the warpath for a rematch with Usyk and even stormed the ring after his second win over Tyson Fury to demand a second battle.

Discussing what Dubois should do in an effort to declare revenge over Usyk, Peter – the uncle and former coach of the Gypsy King – advised Seconds Out: “He’s got to be able to get those power shots off but against someone like him, Usyk’s not chinny, he’s got his work cut out.”

Despite Dubois’ insistence that he was cheated out of changing into undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, Peter had a completely different tackle the low blow controversy. “I disagree, I’m in the gym everyday and I see these punches and I’ve looked at that punch time and time again,” the boxing coach defined.

“It’s in the groin, in between the hip and the pelvis. Get hit there and it’ll put any heavyweight right off. It was a low shot, have we seen Usyk wince to the body, yes, but he’s got to get those shots hasn’t he? Usyk seems so far to have all the answers.”

Dubois was scheduled to tackle Joseph Parker on Saturday however was pressured to drag out because of sickness, with many now speculating his subsequent bout will probably be a rematch with Usyk. The Brit’s promoter, Frank Warren, stated he’d prefer to see the pair tussle for a second time.

But Warren admitted it is not a performed deal between the fighters. “I’d like to see the rematch with Usyk,” the Queensberry Promotions chief advised not too long ago advised Sky Sports.

“That’s an option, if it can be done I’d love that. But then we’ve got Joe Parker, we’ve got AJ, who’s got over his injury and he may want to do it now with the fact he’s been ill, who knows?”
