HOT NEWS: Don Charles Just EXPOSED Oleksandr Usyk And CALLED Him CHEATER in Recent Interview—‘YOU’RE A F*CKING FRAUD!’
The boxing world is in an uproar after Daniel Dubois’ trainer Don Charles unleashed a blistering attack on Oleksandr Usyk, branding him a cheater and dropping a bombshell with the explosive words, “YOU’RE A F*CKING FRAUD!” in a recent interview. The heated confrontation, aired just days before their rematch on July 19 at Wembley Stadium, has reignited the controversy surrounding their 2023 fight and threatens to turn their upcoming undisputed heavyweight title clash into a personal vendetta.
Charles’ Explosive Outburst
In an interview with Sky Sports on May 4, Charles didn’t hold back, accusing Usyk of deceit in their first encounter in Poland two years ago. The flashpoint came when Charles revisited the fifth-round body shot that floored Usyk, which referee Luis Pabon ruled a low blow, granting Usyk a lengthy recovery period before stopping Dubois in the ninth. “He conned the referee, he conned us, he conned the whole boxing world with that Oscar-worthy acting!” Charles raged. Then, escalating the rhetoric, he pointed directly at Usyk, shouting, “YOU’RE A F*CKING FRAUD! You pride yourself as a God-fearing man, but you lied—where’s your faith now?” The unfiltered outburst has left fans and analysts stunned, with clips of the interview going viral across social media platforms.
Charles’ accusations stem from his belief that the punch was legal, a view shared by some fans who felt Dubois was robbed of a potential victory. He further challenged Usyk’s integrity, questioning the Ukrainian’s religious persona, a recurring theme in their rivalry. “If you believe in God, admit you cheated—otherwise, you’re a hypocrite!” Charles added, daring Usyk to address the claims head-on.
Usyk’s Response and the Build-Up
Usyk, who has remained undefeated with wins over Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, responded with his trademark calm during a press conference on May 5. “I fight with honor, with God’s blessing. Don Charles can talk, but his words don’t change the truth,” Usyk said through a translator, brushing off the personal attack. However, the tension was palpable as he stared down Charles across the room, hinting at a fired-up approach for the rematch where all four major belts will be on the line.
The 2023 fight remains a sore point, with Dubois’ camp filing an appeal that was dismissed by the WBA. Usyk’s team has consistently defended the referee’s call, with promoter Alex Krassyuk calling Charles’ latest rant “desperate and disrespectful.” Yet, the controversy has only heightened anticipation for the July 19 showdown, with posts found on X showing fans split between supporting Dubois’ grievance and defending Usyk’s reputation.
Boxing World Reacts
The boxing community is abuzz with reactions. Prominent figures like Eddie Hearn labeled Charles’ comments “out of line,” while Mike Tyson, commenting on ESPN, said, “It’s personal now—Usyk better watch out.” Fans online are divided, with some praising Charles’ boldness and others decrying it as a cheap tactic to psyche out Usyk. The interview has dominated headlines, overshadowing other recent fights and fueling debates about fairness in the sport.
What Lies Ahead?
With the rematch just over two months away, Charles’ explosive expose has turned the stakes personal. Dubois, riding a wave of knockouts over Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic, and Joshua, is primed to “put Usyk to sleep,” as he vowed in April. Usyk, meanwhile, is training to cement his legacy as a two-time undisputed champion. Whether Charles’ words ignite a fire under Dubois or backfire by motivating Usyk remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the Wembley clash will be anything but routine.
