It seems that the promotional duo Frank Warren and Bob Arum are not unanimous regarding the most controversial moment of the fight between Alexander Usik (21-0, 14 KOs) and Daniel Dubois (19-2, 18 KOs). Arum, unlike Warren, with whom he jointly promotes many boxers, believes that Dubois fouled the Ukrainian in the fifth round.

“Maybe the referee gave Usyk too much time to rest, but I watched the fight on TV and it was too low a blow,” said the 91-year-old Top Rank boss, adding that he dreams of a fight between Usyk and Usyk in the future. Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs).

“Fighting for the undisputed heavyweight title is what I hope to do before I retire from boxing,” Arum said.
