Caroline Dubois, sister of former heavyweight title challenger Daniel Dubois, spoke about the controversial blow of her brother in the fifth round of the fight against the world champion according to WBA, WBO and IBF Alexandra Usika.
“I don’t think it was a low blow. But I also believe that the referee is in the ring to make decisions. The referee's decisions are not always correct. We saw this in the Rolando Romero fight and other fights. Sometimes these decisions are a little hasty, sometimes a little radical. Sometimes they are influenced by the audience and the specific moment.
I think this was Usyk’s moment. Everyone came there to cheer for him. Therefore, I believe that Daniel’s task was to go into the ring and not seek the favor of the referee, judges or anyone else. You had to go out there, rewrite the script and change your life. Unfortunately, he couldn’t do it, but it is what it is,” Caroline said in an interview with the Boxing News YouTube channel.
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.
