Daniel Dubois has said the punch that floored Oleksandr Usyk in their first fight -- that was deemed a low blow by the referee -- was legal and came "from the Gods" as he prepares to exact revenge in their rematch.

"It’s gonna be a bloodbath. I’m going to put all the controversy and nonsense to rest," Dubois said at Tuesday's news conference.

Daniel Dubois believes that the officials were influenced by the politically charged occasion in his defeat against Oleksandr Usyk in 2023.
