Floyd EXPOSED Oleksandr Usyk Cheating Plan Vs Daniel Dubois in Rematch

At 12:15 AM +07 on Thursday, July 31, 2025, the boxing world has been thrown into chaos following a shocking revelation from Floyd Mayweather Jr., the legendary undefeated boxer, who claims to have uncovered a cheating scheme allegedly orchestrated by Oleksandr Usyk ahead of his rematch with Daniel Dubois. The bombshell dropped during a late-night Instagram Live session at 11:50 PM +07, where Mayweather alleged that Usyk manipulated the outcome of their July 19, 2025, fight at Wembley Stadium, where Usyk reclaimed the undisputed heavyweight titles with a fifth-round knockout. This accusation has ignited a firestorm of controversy, with #UsykCheat trending on X as fans, analysts, and fighters weigh in on the explosive claims. The timing—mere hours before a scheduled press conference—adds urgency to an already tense narrative surrounding the fight’s legitimacy.

The Context of the Fight

The rematch between Usyk and Dubois was a highly anticipated clash, pitting the Ukrainian southpaw, who boasts a perfect 24-0 record, against the British powerhouse Dubois, who entered with a 22-3 record and the IBF heavyweight title. Their first encounter on August 26, 2023, in Poland ended controversially when a punch from Dubois was ruled a low blow, allowing Usyk to recover and secure a ninth-round knockout. The recent fight at Wembley saw Usyk dominate, dropping Dubois twice in the fifth round with a combination that included his signature “Ivan” left hook, ending the bout at 1:52. Usyk’s victory restored his status as a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion, a feat that had been briefly interrupted when he vacated the IBF title to face Tyson Fury.

Dubois’ camp had expressed confidence, citing his knockout of Anthony Joshua in September 2024 as evidence of his growth. However, post-fight reports of a pre-bout “gathering” at Dubois’ home—attended by over 30 people and potentially disrupting his preparation—raised questions about his readiness. Usyk, meanwhile, appeared unfazed, leveraging his experience and tactical acumen to outclass the younger fighter. The clean knockout seemed to settle the rivalry, but Mayweather’s intervention has reopened old wounds.

Mayweather’s Explosive Claims

In his Instagram Live, Mayweather, who retired with a 50-0 record, stated, “I’ve seen the tapes, man. Usyk and his team played dirty. They knew Dubois was coming strong, so they set it up—low blows, referee tricks, the whole game. I’m calling it out because this sport deserves better.” He referenced the 2023 low blow controversy, suggesting it was a premeditated tactic repeated in the rematch, though he provided no concrete evidence beyond alleging access to “insider footage.” Mayweather also hinted at a conversation with an unnamed source close to Dubois’ camp, claiming they confirmed Usyk’s team influenced referee decisions.

layed the count to favor Usyk, allowing him to land the fatal blow. This claim echoes Dubois’ post-fight comments to DAZN, where he said, “I gave everything, but something didn’t feel right. I’ll be back,” fueling speculation of foul play. Mayweather’s involvement—given his history of calling out corruption in boxing—lends weight to the narrative, though his motives are under scrutiny, with some suggesting a publicity stunt ahead of his own exhibition bouts.

Reactions and Speculations

The boxing community is polarized. On X, fans are divided, with posts like “Floyd exposing Usyk? This changes everything!” contrasting with “Mayweather just stirring the pot for attention.” Tony Bellew, a former cruiserweight champion, tweeted, “If there’s proof, show it. Otherwise, this is nonsense.” Promoter Frank Warren, who manages Dubois, called for an investigation, stating, “We’ve had concerns since 2023. If Floyd has evidence, the British Boxing Board of Control needs to act.” Usyk’s promoter, Alex Krassyuk, dismissed the claims as “ridiculous,” insisting, “Oleksandr won fair and square. Let’s move on.”

Speculation also points to internal tensions in Dubois’ camp, with unconfirmed reports of a pre-fight rift between trainer Don Charles and Dubois’ father, Stan, over the gathering. Some suggest this distraction, rather than a conspiracy, undermined Dubois. Mayweather’s allegations, however, have shifted focus to officiating, with calls for a review of Griffin’s decisions, though no formal complaint has been lodged as of 12:15 AM +07.

What This Means

Mayweather’s expose, if substantiated, could lead to a rematch demand or an IBF review, though Usyk’s vacation plans and Dubois’ uncertain future complicate matters. For Usyk, the accusation tarnishes a historic night, potentially delaying his rest or next fight against Joseph Parker or Tyson Fury. Dubois, already reeling from two losses to Usyk, faces a career crossroads—retirement rumors persist, but a conspiracy angle might rally support for a comeback.

The broader implication is a renewed push for transparency in boxing governance. At 12:15 AM +07, as the story unfolds, the focus is on Mayweather’s next move. Will he produce evidence, or will this fade as another unproven claim? One thing is clear: the Usyk-Dubois saga, now laced with intrigue, has taken a dramatic, unpredictable turn.
