Will Usyk receive fair officiating against Dubois in London?

It's a huge concern and I don't know why many just think of the judges when it comes to corruption and home cooking when the ref has plenty of means at their disposal to influence the outcome and steer the fight in the direction that benefits the A side or the home fighter.

Whether it be waving the fight of quickly, buying time for a badly hurt fighter and saving them from a KO loss, long counts, short counts, turning a blind eye to illegal tactics, excessive holding, headbutts, low blows, elbows, counting bogus KDs, not counting legit ones, being on one fighters case all the time etc. and Dubois is the dirtiest fighter in the division and he hit Usyk low many times, hit Miller, Hrgovic, and AJ low too. He butted Hrgovic at least 22 times and some of them were so flagrant that it was abundantly clear it was part of the game plan.

His behaviour has been weird too. He seems really angry these days which is something I never noticed before and looks like he's on the verge of losing his rag. He elbowed Don Charles the other day. He snapped at him when Charles was trying to give him instructions in the corner at the end of round 1 vs Hrgovic.

Then there was this. Usyk being the nice guy and class act he is offering him encouragement in the ring after beating him which angered Dubois and was very ''disrespectful''

The irony of Don Charles, his son and Dubois accusing Usyk of being ''disrespectful'' and a ''cheater'' couldn't be more priceless. The things Charles has said about Usyk were well out of order and Dubois has morphed into the dirtiest fighter in the division since hooking up with him and we've seen plenty of instances of Dubois being dirty and cheating ever since

What about the refs in both the Lerena and Hrgovic fights doing their bit to secure Dubois the win?

Dubois tried being dirty against AJ but the ref was on his case immediately. Odd how the ref in the Hrgovic fight turned a blind eye to all those billy goat butts. If Dubois did that vs AJ he would've 100% been DQ'd

So yeah it's a real concern and I won't be at all surprised if Dubois is very dirty again tonight or even if he got himself DQ'd, assuming the ref isn't in the bag of course, losing it and doing something really dirty
