Ukrainian boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk has pinpointed Anthony Joshua’s crucial mistake following his stunning loss to Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
Dubois successfully defended his IBF heavyweight title, defeating Joshua in five rounds before a record-breaking 96,000-strong crowd. This latest setback marks Joshua’s fourth professional defeat.
Usyk, who has twice bested Joshua in the ring, attributed Joshua’s loss to poor footwork and movement. “Daniel Dubois was the better fighter tonight,” he stated, as reported by Metro UK. “Joshua’s tendency to lean back is a significant problem – to create distance, you must move your feet, not rely on leaning.”
The Ukrainian boxer’s analysis highlights Joshua’s technical vulnerability, which Dubois effectively exploited to secure the victory.
