DANIEL DUBOIS' promoter has formally appealed against his loss to Oleksandr Usyk following a controversial "low blow" call.<\/p>\n
Dubois was beaten in nine rounds by the masterful Ukrainian world champion in Poland.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But in the fifth round he had Usyk on the floor following a shot to the midsection – which referee Luis Pabon adjudged to be low. <\/p>\n
Usyk took full advantage of the five minutes to recover but opinions were divided on whether it was low or not.<\/p>\n
Heartbroken Dubois and his fuming promoter Frank Warren vowed to fight the result and now they have appealed to the WBA.<\/p>\n
Warren called for the bout to be declared a "no contest" with the loss being chalked off and a rematch being requested.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Hall of Fame promoter argued: "Daniel Dubois was unjustly denied of his rightful status as unified world heavyweight champion."<\/p>\n
It also makes the claim that Usyk would not have got up from Dubois' body shot had it not been ruled a low blow.<\/p>\n
The appeal read: "Mr Dubois landed a body blow that dropped and severely hurt Mr Usyk and, seemingly, crowned Mr Dubois the heavyweight champion."<\/p>\n
They maintain the "blow was incorrectly adjudicated as low by Mr Pabon."<\/p>\n
