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

Oleksandr Usyk shrugged off accusations of cheating and fakery and said he was ready to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world for a second time when he fights Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium on July 19.

The fight comes almost two years after their first contest, when Usyk was a unified champion having twice beaten Anthony Joshua across 12 rounds. At that point, Dubois was a little greener but did manage to get Usyk down to the canvas though it was ruled low and Usyk was given all the time he needed to recover.
