Daniel Dubois is not a happy man at the moment.

The British boxer not only suffered the second loss of his career but also felt like he was cheated out of a win.

Dubois took on Oleksandr Usyk for the IBF, WBO, and WBA titles in Poland but was stopped in the ninth round by the champion.

Dubois’ camp believes he was cheated out of a win after dropping Usyk in the fifth round. The Briton caught the Ukrainian with a body shot that was deemed a low blow, and Usyk was allowed time to recover.

Speaking after the fight in Poland, Dubois and his camp claimed they should be walking out with all the titles, EuroSport reported.

“I didn't think it was a low blow, I’ve been cheated out of victory," a visibly upset Dubois said.

His promoter, Frank Warren, echoed his sentiments and called for a rematch. He added that Usyk was given more time to recover as well because he was fighting in front of his own fans.

“It hit him on the waistband, I wish they could put it up. That’s all he worked on in camp, working on the body. The referee got it badly wrong. If it was a low blow, why didn’t he take any points off him?

"The governing body will have to do something again and order a rematch, Warren demanded.

Dubois' team will now wait to see what the governing body decides before making their new move. Warren also touched on the possibility of Dubois taking on Tyson Fury, and said that was the plan before Dynamite was robbed of a title win.
