In the fifth round, Dubois landed a blow to the belt, which caused Usyk to fall to the canvas. The Ukrainian boxer took a few minutes to recover. The referee declared the blow unacceptable.
“My rubber band is always located below the navel. I think those who claim Dubois’ kick was correct have something with their eyes or their heads. And if professional boxers who got into the ring themselves talk about it, then, in my opinion, they definitely have a violation in mind. I’m not going to judge anyone, but it’s important to see things objectively,” Usyk commented in an interview with YouTube channel Seconds Out.
