Daniel Dubois will hope that he will not bear the repetition of what happened before his fight with Anthony Joshua during the fight with Oleksandrek Usyk. The organizers had a significant failure after the former WBO champion Liam Smith withdrew from his unclean fight.

The 36-year-old had a collision with Josh Kelly in Wembley, but was hit by a virus. Blockbuster Clash was the most anticipated fight of the year in 2024 in Wembley. Joshua was beaten by Dubois, trying to apply for the crown of IBF after the warrior at the highest level was forced to withdraw.

The promoters confronted from the last minute to potentially secure the replacement after Smith’s fight with Kelly was suddenly canceled.

Liverpudlian hoped to regulate the result after defeat with Chris Eubank Jr, but the disease was confirmed as preventing him from competing.

The fighter called “robust” by the fans revealed the severity of his condition when the planned competition was postponed, explaining that he was experiencing “pain” from the virus.

He said, “I have a virus now, and my ribs feel good pain from all the cough.

“I would be cooked if anyone landed on me with a delicate body,” he admitted, admitting that he felt too faint to risk entering the ring.

“So maybe it’s my personal empathy that I’m diseased now, but I think this is a justified reason in a week.”

Ishmael Davis entered a behind schedule notification and was defeated by Kelly.

Before the fight, Smith wanted to prove that his critics were wrong and the Kelly camp expired. “Josh will never say that because he is not such a person and is a warrior, so he can’t say it,” he said.

“But it is clear that … Josh’s team is trying to win me in the right time. They are looking for a name on the stage that gives Josh a great name.

“I will show that this is a huge mistake on their behalf. Regardless of whether it is Josh’s band or Josh himself. This is the only thing that is a bit frustrating on my behalf. You are only known from the last fight.”

Thinking about his previous loss with Eubank Jr, the warrior Merseyside opened about his struggles, admitting: “I could not get off. Cutting the weight simply took my toll on me. From a minute of back injuries to a minute of a dating superior. It was like a race with time, from our point of view, and a deadline in which Chris could leave.

“So it was always a race with time and I just feel that it obviously played its role. You didn’t have to be a genius to see how flat [I was] 40 seconds to fight, do you know what I mean? I just couldn’t go, I feel. I feel that the burden killed me. “

In addition, he commented: “I think everyone knows, and Chris knows how much I was to say about weight. After an injury I went down to three stones (42 pounds) and so [that is] Great weight to change in a miniature time. “
