SHOCKING NEWS: Daniel Dubois Just Revealed the Truth Behind Usyk’s Easy Win and the Dark Purpose of This Fight: “Turki paid me and asked me to…”

At 12:45 AM +07 on Thursday, July 24, 2025, the boxing world has been plunged into turmoil following a jaw-dropping revelation from Daniel Dubois. Just five days after his devastating fifth-round knockout loss to Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley Stadium on July 19, 2025, Dubois has dropped a bombshell, alleging a sinister conspiracy behind his defeat. In a cryptic social media video posted at 12:40 AM +07, he stated, “Turki paid me and asked me to…”—a statement that cuts off mid-sentence but points to Saudi boxing mogul Turki Alalshikh, igniting speculation of a fixed fight with dark ulterior motives. This shocking claim threatens to dismantle Usyk’s undisputed heavyweight reign and cast a shadow over the sport’s integrity.

The Fight That Ignited the Scandal

The Usyk vs. Dubois rematch, attended by 90,000 fans, saw Usyk reclaim the undisputed heavyweight titles (WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF) with a clinical performance, knocking Dubois down twice in the fifth round with a devastating left hook dubbed “Ivan.” The Ukrainian’s victory, following his earlier wins over Tyson Fury, solidified his status as a three-time undisputed champion. Dubois, despite showing early promise with aggressive jabs, faltered under Usyk’s precision, leading to a knockout that left fans in awe. However, Dubois’ subdued post-fight demeanor hinted at unresolved issues, a foreshadowing now confirmed by his explosive accusation.

Dubois’ Explosive Revelation

In the hastily recorded video shared on X at 12:40 AM +07, Dubois began addressing his loss before pausing dramatically and saying, “Turki paid me and asked me to…” The clip ends abruptly, leaving the boxing world hanging on the incomplete thought. The reference to Turki Alalshikh, the influential Saudi promoter who orchestrated the event, suggests Dubois may have been paid to underperform, potentially to enhance Usyk’s legacy or serve a geopolitical agenda tied to Ukraine’s ongoing conflict. Alalshikh, known for bankrolling blockbuster fights, was present ringside, and his push for Usyk’s next bout against Moses Itauma adds fuel to the conspiracy fire. Dubois’ team has not clarified the statement, but the implication of a fix has sent shockwaves through the sport.

Usyk’s camp swiftly denounced the claim as “baseless and defamatory,” with manager Alex Krassyuk calling it a “desperate attempt to rewrite history.” Alalshikh has remained silent, but the timing—amid trending discussions on X about fight fixing—amplifies the scandal’s impact.

Reactions and Speculation

The boxing and MMA communities are in an uproar, with #DuboisTruth and #UsykFix trending on X within minutes. Fans are divided: some theorize Alalshikh paid Dubois to lose to elevate Usyk for a lucrative rematch with Fury, boosting Saudi boxing’s profile, while others suggest a darker motive linked to supporting Ukraine’s war narrative. Critics argue Dubois’ loss was a fair reflection of Usyk’s skill, citing his 2023 low-blow controversy as a red herring. Prominent promoter Frank Warren, Dubois’ backer, demanded clarity, stating at 12:42 AM +07, “If there’s any truth to this, it’s a betrayal of the sport. We need a full investigation—now.” The incomplete quote has sparked wild speculation, from financial incentives to scripted outcomes, with no evidence yet to substantiate the claim.

What This Means

If Dubois’ claim holds, Usyk’s 24-0 record and undisputed titles could be nullified, triggering a rematch or ban on involved parties, including Alalshikh. Dubois, now 22-3, might regain credibility or face backlash if proven false, jeopardizing his career. The scandal could damage Saudi boxing’s reputation and prompt stricter oversight, while Usyk’s legacy hangs in the balance. As the clock ticks past 12:45 AM +07, the boxing world awaits further evidence—audio, documents, or a full statement—while the dark purpose Dubois hints at looms large, poised to reshape the sport’s future.
