Oleksandr Usyk could have competed with them all

What struck me as much more of a concern was how late he was arriving at Wembley Stadium. I favour arriving at a venue three hours in advance – I’d already finished wrapping Oleksandr’s right hand, and had started on his left, when footage showed Dubois reaching the venue. A fighter needs to be relaxed, and in a calm environment – Oleksandr, for example, arrived and had time to hang his flags, say his prayers, and go through his routine. There’s no way Dubois could have experienced anything like the same calm.
