Former world champion Carl Frampton shared his thoughts on behavior Daniel Dubois in a fight with the WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF heavyweight champion Alexander Usik.

“Usyk won this fight. I think the controversy over whether Dubois was hit low or not clouded the ending of the fight a little. And in essence, Daniel was on his knee again at the end. I won’t say that it is soft, but its stability should be better than it is now.

I don’t know what conversations were going on behind the scenes. Maybe this is normal for Dubois, but he should talk to a sports psychologist because there is something wrong with him mentally.

Even when Usyk fell, whether that punch was legal or not, he was given a long break, but he still wasn't back to normal when he got up. I think he was given 3 minutes and 45 seconds to recover, but he was still in pain. However, Daniel didn’t do enough – it was disappointing,” Frampton was quoted as saying by Boxing News.
