Dmitry Bivol, the world light heavyweight champion according to the WBA, could not answer the question whether Daniel Dubois’s blow in the fight with Alexander Usyk was below the elastic of his shorts.
“I saw that very blow to Usyk. In fact, it may seem funny - I have been boxing for over 25 years and have never gone into detail about where this “red line” is. Where a blow is considered below the belt, and where it is not. Here the blow was to the waist. I don’t know how this is interpreted according to the rules. To be honest, I never read the rules. I just tried to always hit above the belt.”
