American heavyweight Jermaine Franklin shared his opinion on the controversial strike Daniel Dubois in the fifth round of the fight against Alexandra Usika.
"I don't know. This is a double-edged sword. We watched the fight, but were not in the ring. Even the people who were there were not in the ring. So only the referees and judges are the people who actually watched the fight up close. Replay is the best thing we have.
But it seems that this was a blow to the gum. To me it looked forbidden. We have big shells. I carry a large shell myself. Sometimes they go up, and if your shorts are below your belly button, then it’s a illegal hit,” Franklin said in an interview with the YouTube channel Seconds Out.
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.
