WBC president categorical: 'Dubois hit Usyk with a low blow'

Mauricio Suleiman, President of the WBC, praised the blow that Daniel Dubois landed on Oleksandr Usyk in the fifth round of their confrontation.

“In the fifth round, Dubois hit Usyk with a punch that hit Usyk clearly in the waistband of his boxing shorts, which is an obvious blow below the belt, after which Usyk fell to the floor of the ring. Unfortunately, only the WBC uses the instant video replay rule, which was not applied in this case, ”the functionary said.

Recall that Usyk defeated Dubois by TKO, finishing him in the ninth round.
