Karl Froch, a former world champion, spoke about the episode that happened in the fifth round of the fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois. Karl stated that the Briton hit below the waterline.
āFor me, itās a low blow. If the stroke is below the waterline, then it is a low blow. It doesn't have to be a kick right in the balls. Intentionally or not, the kick was low and the referee did the right thing,ā Froch said.
Recall that Usyk defeated Dubois by TKO in the ninth round.
