The legendary boxer believes that the Ukrainian world champion feigned in the fifth round of the title fight.
Daniel Dubois got a fair and accurate shot in the fifth round of the fight against Oleksandr Usyk. This is what legendary boxer Oscar De La Hoya said.
According to him, the Ukrainian was tricked by pulling his shorts up too high, and then feigned severe pain.
“All these people who say: “Oh, it’s a forbidden punch” … No, this punch is not forbidden. It’s a legal punch. People don’t understand that Usyk’s shell is here (pointing to his stomach, – approx ) Your damn balls are located here (shown below).
Dubois shot up. So he was under the belt, but Mustache’s belt was next to his nipples. The blow came from below, but when he flew, he hit him in the stomach. It is not low. It’s low (mimicking a punch to the groin),” De La Hoya said in an interview with Fight Hub TV’s YouTube channel.
It can be remembered that earlier the WBA released an official statement on Dubois’ punch to Usyk in the title fight.
