Oleksandr Usyk’s promoter, Alex Krassyuk, has taken a dig at Daniel Dubois, mocking the British boxer for what he described as “unusual” behavior during his recent fight against Anthony Joshua.

The highly anticipated bout saw Dubois fall to a dramatic defeat, and Krassyuk wasted no time calling out Dubois for his actions in the ring.

In a post-fight interview, Krassyuk commented on Dubois’ conduct, suggesting that the fighter’s behavior during the match was far from typical. “His behavior wasn’t standard for a professional fight of that magnitude,” Krassyuk remarked. “There were moments where he seemed to lose control, and it wasn’t what we usually expect from a fighter at this level.”

While Krassyuk didn’t delve into specific incidents, many interpreted his comments as a jab at Dubois’ inability to maintain composure during crucial moments of the fight. Some spectators noted that Dubois appeared frustrated, especially after receiving heavy blows from Joshua, which may have impacted his performance.

Krassyuk’s comments come in the wake of the ongoing rivalry between the heavyweights, with Dubois looking to cement his status as a top contender after his loss to Usyk. However, his defeat at the hands of Joshua has raised questions about his ability to handle high-pressure situations.

Joshua, on the other hand, remained composed throughout the fight and eventually secured a knockout win over Dubois. For Krassyuk, it was a clear indication of the difference between the two fighters’ mental toughness. “Joshua was calm, collected, and focused, while Dubois seemed rattled. That’s the difference between a champion and someone who still has a lot to learn,” Krassyuk added.

The defeat marked another setback for Dubois, who had hoped to position himself as a top contender for future heavyweight title fights. While his talent is undeniable, critics like Krassyuk believe that he still needs to develop the mental fortitude required to compete at the highest level.

As for Usyk, Krassyuk suggested that the Ukrainian champion remains focused on his own path and is prepared to face any challenger. With the heavyweight division still buzzing from recent events, it’s clear that Krassyuk and Team Usyk are keeping a close eye on the competition.
