Unfortunately, there is no way to reverse the current situation that has been unfolding over the last month with Oleksandr Usyk. Apparently, the IBF won the appeal from Usyk and his team to maintain his IBF Heavyweight championship belt because of the urgency for the division to remain active. This opens up a whole new opportunity for both Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois. Both British fighters are expected to clash on September 21st at Wembley Stadium but they were waiting for this resolution to pass. Naturally, this is already being regarded as an unfair move from the IBF because Oleksandr Usyk beat Tyson Fury fair and square for the unification heavyweight title. the man himself was th one who made the announcement on his social media and he seemed disappointed.
