Oleksandr Usyk offers brief response to Daniel Dubois illness and Parker vs Bakole fight

After Usyk beat Tyson Fury on points in December – replicating his May result against the “Gypsy King” – Dubois entered the ring to confront the Ukrainian, 38. Dubois has since been on a hot streak, stopping Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua, while Parker is in similarly strong form, holding five straight wins including victories over Zhilei Zhang and Deontay Wilder. Dubois caught Usyk in the abdomen with what was deemed a low blow in the fifth round, forcing a lengthy delay and causing the champion immense discomfort. It saw him come face-to-face with one of boxing’s greatest ever fighters – not that he realised it.
