Resurfaced video reveals Tyson Fury’s voice earlier than life-altering punch to throat
Oleksandr Usyk retained the unified heavyweight titles in opposition to Daniel Dubois on Saturday, in a massively controversial struggle in Poland.
Usyk dropped Dubois on the finish of the eighth spherical and did the identical within the ninth, with referee Luis Pabon waving off the bout after the second knockdown. However, many viewers felt that Dubois was denied a real knockout win within the fifth spherical. Ukrainian Usyk crumpled to the mat after a proper hook to the physique by Dubois, with the punch showing to land proper on the belt line. But Pabon dominated it an unlawful shot, suggesting it was a low blow.
Rules dictate {that a} fighter is allowed 5 minutes to get well from such a punch, and Usyk, 36, used 4 of them earlier than resuming the primary occasion in Wroclaw’s Tarczynski Arena. Usyk even informed Pabon that he was able to proceed, however the referee urged the southpaw to take extra time.
In the next rounds, Usyk turned the screw, combating nicely behind his jab and more and more crafting combos that troubled Dubois, 25. The Briton then hit the mat after a flurry of straight photographs from Usyk on the finish of the eighth spherical, earlier than taking place once more because of a brief punch within the ninth. Although Dubois made it again to his ft, Pabon waved off the struggle.
