Tony Bellew took to social media in the aftermath of the Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois controversy.
The Ukrainian heavyweight king remains the unified champion after stopping Dubois in the ninth round.
But a fifth round body shot had sent Usyk down to the canvas, where he remained for some time.

Sadly for Dubois it was ruled as an illegal shot and so Usyk was given time to recover and ultimately that he did.

Former opponent of Usyk, Tony Bellew shared his thoughts and accused Dubois of ‘spewing it’.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) he posted:
‘Anything below the naval is classed as low in boxing! That’s not my opinion that’s a FACT! That’s the rules! Your shorts shouldn’t cover your naval cos if they do the belt can be hit! This picture says a thousand words! Spew it once and you’ll spew it again is also another fact!’
