Simon Jordan claims Daniel Dubois’ dad threw a party at the boxer’s house on the morning of his fight with Oleksandr Usyk. Dubois turned up late to Wembley Stadium at around 8.15
Dubois was the beneficiary of this move by the IBF, picking up the interim title with a June 2024 stoppage of Filip Hrgovic and then being elevated to full champion after Usyk was stripped. Dubois then defended his title with a spectacular knockout of Anthony Joshua in Wembley Stadium.
Daniel Dubois was outclassed and stopped inside five rounds by Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley as he relinquished his IBF heavyweight title to the Ukrainian great. His loss leaves Britain with just one male fighter holding a full version of a world title – Nick Ball.
