Oleksandr Usyk is accused of fraud

Sometimes it's easy to forget that Oleksandr Usyk is the heavyweight champion of the world.

Names like Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and, more recently, Daniel Dubois receive significantly more attention in the media than the Ukrainian.

But Usyk is still the champion and the man to beat in the division.

One of his biggest challenges since moving to heavyweight was against Daniel Dubois last August.

During this fight, Dubois hit Usyk with a shot that the referee deemed too low, giving Usyk time to recover.

Many observers felt the punch was legitimate and the referee should have given Usyk a tenner to see if he could recover.

Instead, Oleksandr Usyk took his time and came back with a vengeance, winning by ninth-round knockout.

His opponent that day has since achieved his own famous knockout victory.

The day Daniel Dubois knocked out Anthony Joshua was the day Dubois put his name back in the game to win all the world heavyweight titles.
