Daniel Dubois has been labelled 'embarrassing' after confronting Oleksandr Usyk in the ring following his victory over Tyson Fury. Usyk defeated the Gypsy King for the second time as he earned a decision victory in Saudi Arabia. The Ukraine national prevailed by four rounds on all three judges scorecards to retain WBA, WBO and WBC belts.
The Cat was afforded little time to bask in his victory however as IBF heavyweight title-holder Dubois, who Usyk knocked out in 2023, crashed the party. Being interviewed in the ring during his celebrations Usyk soon found himself face to face with a possible contender for his titles.
Dubois placed himself opposite Usyk and delivered both a challenge and congratulations in a slightly awkward looking encounter. “I want my revenge," said Dubois after taking the microphone from the interviewer. "I want my revenge Usyk! Well done tonight, well done. God bless. I want my revenge for the robbery last time. Let’s go, let’s go. Make it happen Frank!".
Usyk quickly asserted he was open to a rematch. He replied: "Your excellency, make the fight with Daniel Dubois. Thank you so much. "I can do more. I’m ready to fight (Dubois), no problem. Next fight no problem. Now I want to go home and rest.". Viewers were less forgiving of Dubois' actions however. "Truly embarrassing, Daniel Dubois," said one fan on social media.
