Daniel Dubois told Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez to kiss goodbye to his cash after the Mexican said he bet half a million dollars on Oleksandr Usyk beating the Briton in Saturday's undisputed heavyweight world title fight.

While other aspects of his boxing game may still need a polish, there is one thing for sure – Daniel Dubois packs a wallop. The hulking Londoner has been knocking men out for savage fun since he got started in the sport with  21 of his 22 professional victories ending before the final bell.

If we’re lucky here in the combat domain, there are a couple of times a year the fight world explodes with options. This weekend is one of those.

The bulk of the talking was done by Dev Sahni, Don Charles, and Frank Warren, but there were no doubts who the stars of the show were when Usyk and Dubois finally opened their mouths. Usyk promised to win for Ukraine. Dubois declared it was his time. Neither man added much to this, as they stayed true to their respective characters.
