Daniel Dubois tried to send a message to Oleksandr Usyk ahead of their heavyweight championship rematch, but it may not have gone over as well as he planned.
Usyk and Dubois compete for the undisputed heavyweight title on July 19 at Wembley Stadium in London. The two champs squared off for the first time ahead of their summer showdown on Monday, and Dubois met Usyk with a shove in the middle of the field before security intervened.
Watch the shove in the video below.
After Dubois made contact, Usyk couldn’t help but laugh hysterically, while Dubois called Usyk a “p*ssy.”
In their first meeting, Usyk knocked out Dubois in the ninth round in August 2023. Since then, Usyk defeated Tyson Fury in back-to-back fights, and now puts his WBC, WBO, and WBA championships on the line in his second meeting with Dubois.
The 27-year-old Dubois is the current IBF heavyweight champ, and looks to build upon the momentum of a fifth-round knockout win over Anthony Joshua in September.
