The Croatian boxer paid attention to the behavior of the Ukrainian champion after hitting the British.
Philip Hrgovic spoke about the annoying punch of Daniel Dubois in a duel against Alexander Usik. The mandatory contender for the IBF heavyweight title thinks the Briton landed a highly controversial fifth-round punch that could be judged in many ways.
At the same time, the undefeated Croatian boxer drew attention to the behavior of the Ukrainian world champion.
“I don’t know if it was a low blow. I’ve been interviewed and I said I can’t say. I’m not sure. You’ve seen the photos and videos. It’s not a low blow. It’s a blow to belt line. But if you look at Usyk’s reaction, it seems like his reaction was only a blow below the belt, and not to the body.
If I sum it all up, I think it’s a low blow. But like I said, it doesn’t look like a low blow in the picture,” Hrgovic told iFL TV.
Usyk was reminded early that Dubois was knocked out in the ninth round in a bout in Wroclaw, Poland.
Earlier, Hrgovic called out the condition under which he would allow Usyk to fight Fury.
