The famous British boxer Ricky Hatton does not believe that his compatriot Daniel Dubois surrendered in a fight against the unified champion of the heavyweight division of the Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk.

ā€œUnfortunately, Dubois was also criticized after the fight with Joyce, when he injured his eye. I don't think he's given up. Oleksandr Usyk is an incredible talent. He adapted to this weight category. Yes, Usyk is smaller, but he is used to this weight. When he hits you at speed, he does damage. Do you understand what I mean?

Dubois has heavier hands, but I think Usyk has adapted to the heavyweight division. His hand speed will allow him to land punches on a consistent basis against an opponent like Daniel who doesn't have that kind of speed.

No, to be honest, I donā€™tĀ think Du Bois has given up. He needs to be given a short break. IĀ thought heĀ put on a good show. It turned out a little ugly with a low blow, but I donā€™t think he gave up,ā€ Hatton said in an interview with the YouTube channel BBTV BOXING.

Let us remind you that on August 26, Usyk defeated Dubois ahead of schedule in the ninth round in the main event of the boxing evening in Wroclaw, Poland.
