Oleksandr Usyk is back in the gym training for his mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois. In his latest training video, the Ukrainian boxer was seen sharpening his right hook to the body. However, fans are not impressed by Usyk. Had ‘The Cat’ signed the contract with ‘The Gypsy King’ by the 1st of April, fans would have soon witnessed the crowning of the undisputed heavyweight champion in boxing.

Since Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk could not agree on various terms, the potential bout came to a standstill. The current unified heavyweight champion of the world will defend his world titles now against Daniel Dubois in the ring. Here is what fans had to say about Usyk’s latest training video.

For the time being, for Fury and Usyk to share the ring, it was crucial they signed the contract by the 1st of April. In a dramatic turn of events, the potential bout collapsed, unfortunately. Following the cancellation of the fight for the time being, Bob Arum disclosed Usyk was being offered $60M by the Saudis to fight in the winter of 2023. Maybe, Usyk and Fury have other plans for the fans of boxing. Anyway, after Michael Benson shared the clip on Instagram, user @ghenr.y2023 claimed, “He (Usyk) can’t box.

On the other hand, user @chalkonline said, “Imagine this guy against Fury. It would have been such a mismatch. Usyk stands no chance!” According to user @eastldndrill11, Dubois will defeat Usyk within the first three rounds of the fight. “Dubois in 3“, they commented by saying. However, user @augustine2603 feels, “Dubois will be given step aside money so that Usyk can fight Wilder“. Lastly, @bert0h3 called out Tyson Fury saying, “Fury is still hiding“.
