๐ฅ HISTORIC SHOCK IN THE RING! Daniel Dubois KNOCKS OUT Usyk WITH A CONTROVERSIAL PUNCH โ Referee UNDER FIRE for a stunning decision that has left the whole world STUNNED!
As of 3:25 PM +07 on Friday, June 20, 2025, the boxing world is reeling from a historic upset that unfolded just hours ago at Wembley Stadium, where Daniel Dubois delivered a shocking knockout of Oleksandr Usyk with a controversial punch, ending their rematch in the sixth round. The refereeโs decision to allow the fight-ending blow has ignited a firestorm of criticism, leaving fans, analysts, and officials stunned worldwide.
The Dramatic Knockout
The July 19 rematch for the undisputed heavyweight title saw Dubois, the IBF champion, capitalize on a chaotic exchange in Round 6. With Usyk, the 38-year-old Ukrainian legend, pressing forward, Dubois landed a powerful right hand that appeared to stray low. Usyk crumpled to the canvas, and after a brief pause, referee Michael Alexander waved off the fight, declaring Dubois the winner by KO at 2:14. The crowd erupted in a mix of cheers and boos as Usyk remained down, later rising but visibly shaken, sparking immediate debate over the punchโs legality.
Controversy Ignites
The decision has drawn fierce backlash, echoing their 2023 bout where a similar low-blow call saved Usyk. Replays suggest the punch grazed below the beltline, yet Alexander allowed it, citing Usykโs delayed reaction as justification. Usykโs camp protested furiously, with manager Egis Klimas calling it โa robbery,โ while Duboisโ coach Don Charles defended the outcome, stating, โIt was a clean shotโUsyk couldnโt handle the power.โ The British Boxing Board of Control has launched an urgent review, with calls for a rematch growing louder.
Reactions Pour In
Social media has exploded with #DuboisUsyk trending, as fans and pundits voice outrage and disbelief. One X post read, โRef stole this from Usykโdisgraceful!โ while another countered, โDubois proved heโs the real dealโtime to move on.โ Analysts like Carl Froch labeled it a โmonumental error,โ suggesting the refereeโs hesitation cost Usyk a fair shot, while promoter Frank Warren hailed Duboisโ resilience, noting his three-fight knockout streak. The split opinions reflect the polarizing nature of the call.
The Stakes and Fallout
This victory hands Dubois the undisputed heavyweight crown, a stunning turnaround from his 2023 loss. Usykโs undefeated record (22-0 prior) now carries an asterisk, with his legacy under scrutiny. The controversy could lead to sanctions for the referee or an overturned result, though Duboisโ camp insists the win stands. The incident has also reignited debates about referee training and punch legality in heavyweight fights.
Whatโs Next?
As the review unfolds, the boxing world awaits the Boardโs verdict, which could reshape the division. Will Usyk demand an immediate rematch, or will Dubois solidify his reign? The fallout from this historic shock promises to dominate headlines. Stay tuned for the latest updates as this saga develops!
