“What do you want to dispute?” Usik responded to the appeal after the controversial fight.

“What do you want to dispute?” Usik responded to the appeal after the controversial fight. Alexander Usik didn’t leave any room for retrospectives. He commented on the appeal regarding the outcome of the recent fight. “The number of punches accumulates over time, and at some point, something unexpected can happen,” said the absolute champion. He emphasized the inevitable dynamics of the professional boxing ring. According to him, attempts to “change the outcome” are contrary to the very nature of boxing. The referee’s decision becomes final once the fight stops. Appeals are considered by the commission only in cases of serious violations of the rules. In this case, no such violations were found. Usik demonstrated the calmness that is characteristic of the elite of heavyweight boxing. Instead of emotional excuses or prolonged debates, he focused on future challenges. This once again confirmed his status as a champion who accepts the rules and doesn’t look back. Experts say that such requests rarely change the rules. The Ukrainian fighter clearly stated his position: boxing is a sport of final decisions. Every missed or delivered punch becomes part of history, and that history cannot be changed.
