"I was pissed off": Dubois promoter made excuses for the defeat from Usyk

The promoter of the British Daniel Dubois (19-2, 18 KOs) Frank Warren expressed disagreement with those who accused his ward that he refused to continue the fight with Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) after a blow to the head in the ninth round. The head of Queensberry Promotions noted that the Ukrainian managed a very accurate and strong jab, which made his opponent lose.

Warren said this in an interview with the iFL TV YouTube channel, Boxing Social writes. The promoter of the former challenger to the belt of the Ukrainian champion also resented the fact that his boxer did not put pressure on the referee Luis Pabon, who decided to stop the fight and record Usyk's victory by technical knockout.

"I don't agree that it was a weak jab. It was a good, hard jab. Daniel said that because of what happened, he lost a flow in the fight. He looked in the corner, he was pointed out when to get up, he got up, and then the referee stopped the fight. He didn't complain, so it pissed me off a little bit. But I don't think he gave up. He just got a little lost at that point. All knockdowns are different. He's 25 years old and now he should know what it takes to win a world title if something goes wrong. You can't lose the flow," Warren said.

The fight ended in the 9th round when the Briton missed a heavy blow to the head. In total, Daniel missed 88 punches to the body and head from the Ukrainian.

The British boxer hit our compatriot below the belt in the 5th round. Usyk took 5 minutes to come to himself, lying in the ring. At the end of the meeting, Dubois' team said that they did not agree with the result and filed an appeal.

Russian boxer Dmitry Kudryashov mocked the Briton for refusing to continue the fight with the Ukrainian. He also added that Usyk should thank the referee for his success. Russian promoter Vladimir Khryunov called Oleksandr a coward after the fight.

It is known that Dubois was suspended from boxing after the defeat. The reaction of Kateryna Usyk to the fight also appeared online. In addition, the media decoded what Oleksandr said to the British after the fight.

The team of Tyson Fury commented on the fight for the first time. Proof that Dubois was preparing a punch below the Usyk's belt was also published online.
