Oleksandr Usyk, a boxer from Ukraine, has disclosed that Anthony Joshua’s main issue following his unexpected loss to Daniel Dubois was his unsteady footing in the ring.
In front of 96,000 fans at Wembley, Dubois successfully defended his IBF heavyweight title against Joshua in five rounds. Joshua has now lost four times in his professional career.
Usyk thinks that Joshua’s worst fault was his clumsy gait, given how risky it was to lean back. He feels that Joshua would be better effective boxing if he moved his feet to take a stride back rather than leaning back.
He said, “Not shocked [that Dubois defeated Joshua] because it’s boxing. Daniel Dubois today was better,” Usyk was quoted as saying by Metro UK.
“Anthony had one problem because this position [leaning back] is dangerous – if you want to step back, do it like this [by moving your feet], not like this [leaning], this is dangerous.”
