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.”
