“It’s Dangerous” – Oleksandr Usyk Highlights Anthony Joshua’s Major Issue After Loss to Daniel Dubois

Daniel Dubois defended his IBF heavyweight title in front of 96,000 fans at Wembley, defeating Anthony Joshua in just five rounds.

Following Joshua’s surprising loss, Ukrainian champion Oleksandr Usyk, who has beaten Joshua twice, pointed out what he believes to be Joshua’s major flaw in the fight.

Usyk explained that Joshua’s poor footwork and dangerous habit of leaning back in the ring contributed to his defeat. “Not shocked [that Dubois defeated Joshua], because it’s boxing. Daniel Dubois was better today,” Usyk told Metro UK. “Anthony had one problem—this position [leaning back] is dangerous. If you want to step back, you need to move your feet, not lean back, as that’s risky.”
