The referee ruled it a low blow and told Usyk to take his time as he remained on the canvas grimacing and shaking his head, with the round eventually continuing. Dubois, who lasted longer than expected but took some big blows with blood oozing from his nose early in round nine, said the blow was legal. The Ukrainian said he was now ready to fight WBA heavyweight champion Tyson Fury if the Briton was willing. "The strength of our people as mighty as Oleksandr Usyk, the strength of our friends as solid as Daniel Dubois."
