Derek Chisora was not impressed by Daniel Dubois' performance against unified world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. 

Dubois and Usyk went head-to-head for the latter's IBF, WBA and WBO world heavyweight titles this past weekend in Poland in a fight which Usyk won via stoppage in the ninth round. 

This contest however was overshadowed by a controversial body shot from Dubois in the fifth which was deemed a low blow by referee Luis Pabon. 

While it was clear that Usyk was unsettled after falling onto the canvas, Dubois failed to capitlaise and found himself knocked down in rounds eight and nine before the fight was brought to an early conclusion. 

There is a split opinion amongst fans and experts within the sport when it came to the 25-year-old's performance. Some have praised Dubois for his efforts, while others believe the British challenger failed to utilise his punching power and this was something Chisora was very critical towards. 

"Let me be honest, the only best shot he got was that body shot," Chisora told Fight Hub TV . 

"Everything else was wack. I don't know why he didn’t use his body, wrestle the guy, f—g bully him. He did not do that. He tried to make it f—g cute!”
