The promoter of unified world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk Oleksandr Usyk Alexander Krasiuk reacted to the outcome of the fight between Daniel Dubois and Anthony Joshua.
On September 21, Dubois made a solid defense of his IBF belt, sending Joshua to a fifth-round knockout.
"I'm shocked. Dubois is young, aggressive and strong, but ... Joshua was a different man. Zero defense, zero motivation. It's even hard to comment on anything here.
I didn't notice anything in particular in Dubois' tactics. Joshua didn't have time to prove himself in attack - he didn't look dangerous. This made Daniel feel relaxed and calm in the ring. Joshua kept his right hand on his chest at all - no defense! I don't understand why his team didn't tell him to keep his hands higher.
Joshua needs to take a break and think about his prospects. He has a family and things to do outside of boxing. So he has something to do," Krasiuk told Pro Boxing Fans.
