Eddie Hearn believed that the Ukrainian did not want to miss punches in the stomach, and therefore fell to the canvas.
Oleksandr Usyk fakes a low blow against Daniel Dubois. This is what famous promoter Eddie Hearn said. Despite the fact that earlier the functionary spoke about a dirty blow from the British, this time he changed his mind.
According to Hearn, the WBA, WBO and IBF champion’s shorts went up during the fight, so it was a perfectly legitimate punch.
“100 percent. He tried to milk everything from that moment. He didn’t want to hit him in the body. Remember, the same situation happened in the fight with AJ. There was the same blow, but not too low, and Usyk did the same.
By the way, I noticed that Usyk was very nice after the match. He pulled down his shorts to show where his belt was. After the match, we saw that they were about two inches below the navel, but during the match, it wasn’t like that. They’re probably in the belly button,” Boxing News 24/7 quoted Hearn as saying.
