It's one thing to say the punch was below the belt, and that's debatable. But Hearn said the punch hit the supporter. If by that he means the punch landed on the cup, that's complete bullocks, pun intended.

He said it hit his protector. That's a low blow. It doesn't need to be on the cup part to be a low blow. Pushes the protector up and causes pain. Also he is right about the knuckles (the impact point) being well low. This appeal is a waste of time. Like I said before if Cunnigham didn't get the Fury result reversed after he was hit and held and similarly with Whyte when he was pushed down with both hands by Fury - A genuine low blow that could have been called either way by the ref on the night isn't going to be reversed.
Add to that no one wants to see this fight again : Usyk should be fighting Fury not some guy who have never beaten anyone

There's plenty of people who agree with you about the body shot, and plenty of people who disagree. We all know Dubois wouldn't hold those belts long even if he had won. Usyk's secret is out though; he doesn't like shots to the body. Now if a fighter hits him legit in the body where there can be no debate, I'd like to see how he responds. He didn't like it when AJ went there, and was in trouble for a minute.
