Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois almost came to blows as security intervened during their face off ahead of their huge rematch.
On July 19, Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois will step into the boxing ring to face each other for a second time when they clash for the undisputed heavyweight title.
After Usyk defeated Tyson Fury for a second time this past December, Dubois stormed into the ring, demanding a rematch against the Ukrainian after their first bout in 2023 ended controversially.
Since then, ‘Dynamite’ Dubois has gone on an impressive three fight winning streak, with his last win being an incredible knockout over Anthony Joshua.
Usyk and Dubois almost come to blows during face off as security intervene
Dubois was scheduled to return to action this past February to take on Joseph Parker in a huge fight for the division, but he shockingly withdrew from the fight just days before.
Despite withdrawing from that fight, he has been booked to take on Usyk with the two scheduled to fight at the 90,000 seater Wembley Stadium in London on July 19.
And ahead of their monumental clash for the undisputed title, the two faced off on the Wembley Stadium pitch earlier today in their first face off ahead of their rematch.
Although things have remained respectful between the two throughout the build-up so far, they almost came to blows after Dubois shoved the champion during their face off.
Security quickly ran in to split the two up before things were able to escalate as the Brit called Usyk a ‘P—-‘ and began to laugh at their altercation.
Oleksandr Usyk interested in fighting Jake Paul in MMA
Ahead of his rematch against ‘Dynamite’ Dubois, Usyk’s team revealed that he is interested in a possible future fight against Jake Paul, but under extremely different conditions.
According to Usyk’s manager, the Ukrainian is interested in a surprise MMA fight against Paul, as ‘The Problem Child’ continues to tease a potential debut in the sport.
Paul is scheduled to take on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in his next fight, and providing things go well for the controversial internet sensation, he could potentially call Usyk out as his next opponent.
