Joshua's promoter categorically answered the question about Dubois hitting Usyk below the belt

The promoter of former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs) Eddie Hearn expressed full confidence in the fact that his compatriot Daniel Dubois (19-2, 18 KOs) in the fifth round of the fight with Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) delivered an illegitimate kick to the groin of our compatriot. Because of a similar decision of referee Luis Pabon, the British team is protesting the result of the fight on August 26.

On his page in the social network Instagram Hearn decided to answer questions from fans, one of whom asked the promoter about whether Dubois' punch was below the belt. To this, the Brit answered in the affirmative, explaining in detail why he thinks so and the referee in the ring did the right thing.

"The whole fist was below the belly button, the bottom knuckles were much lower. Dubois hit Usyk's protective belt, so it's a punch below the belt," Hearn wrote.

Recall, the fight Usyk - Dubois ended in the 9th round, when the Briton missed a heavy blow to the head. In total, Daniel missed from the Ukrainian 88 punches on the body and in the head. The Ukrainian himself reacted sharply to those who justify Daniel for the kick to the groin....

Usyk himself could not hold back his emotions during the press conference after he was presented with claims that his shorts were worn too high. It should be noted that Vasyl Lomachenko also commented on the result of the Usyk-Dubois fight, but he did it superlaconically and in Russian.

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

As reported OBOZREVATEL, Daniel Dubois was suspended from boxing after the defeat from Oleksandr Usyk. Also in the network was published the reaction of Katerina Usyk to the blows from the British boxer. Also, the media decoded what the Ukrainian said to the British after the fight.
