Requests will fetch the URL's contents, but will not execute any JavaScript.

I performed the same fetch with cURL, and I can't find any occurrence of u_cbox_contents in the HTML code. Most likely, it's injected using JavaScript, which explains why BeautifulSoup can't find it.

If you need the page's code as it would be rendered in a "normal" browser, you could try Selenium. Also have a look at this SO question.
