Egor Golub spoke about the alleged tactics of the British boxer in the title fight against the Ukrainian.
Daniel Dubois intentionally punched Oleksandr Usyk in the stomach during a title fight in Wroclaw. This is the opinion of the coach of WBO International lightweight champion Denis Berinchyk Egor Golub.
According to the specialist, this is a common tactic when the opponent cannot keep up with the faster opponent. So, the British team tried to stop the Ukrainian. However, Dubois missed – and the punch was illegal.
“Uncultured, this is a gentleman’s sport. I was hit hard. What did I feel? I felt that the Cossack was going to rise and someone would not be met. And it happened. Maybe he didn’t mean to hit there, but a low blow, a fact is a truth
The referee before the match, who judged this match, comes in and shows that you can’t lose here. Dubois hit not just on the gum, but below the gum. I think they wanted to slow down the breathing, stop the speed of Alexander’s legs. But he gave too low,” Golub said in an interview with the Dom TV channel.
It will be remembered that Usyk defeated Dubois by TKO in the ninth round.
Former undefeated Croatian boxer Filip Hrgovic expressed whether he thought the punch from Dubois was dirty.
