He does it six times against Joshua and it is not noticed

He did this against Haye - yet was warned about it by the referee.

Dirty boxing is allowed now, it's the new way.

it's an up jab, not low blowi not elbow in the face, just relaxed lazy punch.

It doesn't look like an up jab.

I mean the thing he does AFTER the jab

It's the thing he was warned about in the Haye fight, see the video and timestamp

[gydsgh4345345]

Okay, this picture will describe it best

he misses with a jab, then he throws the same arm in the direction of his opponent, in a sideways motion

it's basically what looks like a backfist

He does it about 10 times in the fight

It is illegal but many boxers do it and many referees don't enforce the no backhand rule.

I haven't seen the actual punches Wlad threw so I don't no if they were illegal or not. A back hand punch is illegal. If he threw a back hand blow then it isn't legal. I don't consider Wlad a dirty fighter but he holds too much in my opinion. A good referee should not let Wlad hold to excess or throw backhand blows. I don't mean this to be an attack on Wlad and I think he was a very good heavyweight champ for many years.
