Athletistic/Boxing. Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs), WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight world champion, reiterated his position on the controversial episode that occurred during his last fight with Briton Daniel Dubois (19-2, 18 KOs).

Recall that in the fifth round of the duel, Dubois struck a blow to the belt, as a result of which Usyk fell to the canvas and asked for some time to recover. The referee declared this blow unacceptable.

“If the ref started counting the knockdowns, what would happen? I think I could handle it. It would be very painful, and Daniel would probably try to finish me off. But I would have found a way out of this. situation,” ” Usyk shared in an interview for YouTube channel Seconds Out.

The fight with Dubois was for Usyk, 36, the tenth title fight of his sports career. He first fought for a world title in 2016, beating Polish boxer Krzysztof Glowacki.
