Oleksandr Usyk v Daniel Dubois

This will be scrutinized more than the Zapruder films. Almost as much as "Fury got a long count" possibly. That's still going too. People out there sighting trajectory, multi conflicting angle on the glove, where the wrinkles on the trunks begin at the point of impact (for real), knuckle line direction on and on. At the end of the day, it's per a referee's discretion and no matter where you end you will use a still shot to make your case. It's all out there. Is a punch below the naval a legal punch? Notice how the refs in the later fights made it a point to be seen defining the point on the trunks they consider low? What's lost is Dubois was basically dominated aside from one blow that landed on AND below the waist band. His reluctance and inability to immediately follow up and capitalize on what some are calling a clean brutal body shot that had THAT kind of impact tells me that maybe it wasn't all that clean. And I guarantee you had he won unified championships on that shot the outrage on "the other side" and in the boxing community would be absolutely deafening. Being honest this type of punch is called low more than not from my memory and again referees are not AI generated automatons. And for all the Fury will wipe the mat with Usyk...well, ok. There he is. Nothing stopping that from being made. Just one man. Usyk already excepted ludicrous terms but ol Fury opted for a day at the fair and the reality TV route. Usyk holds the belts, Tyson presumably wants them. Afterall Usyk is just a middleweight and a total pushover to be mauled and has a glass bladder, or belly. Sooo go get him Tyson. Easy money surely. Make the fight now eh. But I'm betting as is his nature and trend now he'll insist on a 90-10 split as Usyk "got lucky".
