“The legendary boxer recalled the blow in the Usyk-DuBois match”, — write: sport.ua
Legendary British heavyweight Lennox Lewis recalled the punch that caused much controversy in the first fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois.
“No, it was definitely not a blow below the belt. Ask any boxer, it was a legal punch. Usyk simulated. We all do that. What should I do in such a situation? I would do the same thing if I were him,” Lewis said.
In September 2024, Dubois knocked out Anthony Joshua and defended the IBF championship title in the “royal division”.
In 2023, Dubois lost by knockout to Usyk in the 9th round. In the 5th round, Dubois openly punched below the belt, and Usyk came to his senses for a long time.
