Frank Warren has brought props. As he gently settles into a brown leather chair in the lobby of a hotel by London Bridge station, he unfurls two pieces of paper. “These aren’t mine,” he says. “They’re from The Sun.”
On each piece of paper is a photograph of Daniel Dubois, burrowing his right glove into the body of Oleksandr Usyk in their 2023 title fight. Or into the Ukrainian’s groin, depending on whom you ask. Because no matter what method of argument Warren uses, there will always be those who agree with the official ruling: that his fighter’s intended body shot landed low, and that Usyk’s timeout was justified. Either way, the rest is history, and it tells us Usyk eventually resumed fighting and stopped Dubois.
