AMIR Khan believes Daniel Dubois should keep winding up Oleksandr Usyk to realise his dream of becoming undisputed world heavyweight champion.

Dubois has the opportunity to add Usyk’s WBA (Super), WBO and WBC belts to his own IBF crown at Wembley Stadium on July 19.

The pair faced off at England’s national stadium on Monday when Dubois shoved Usyk in the chest, leading the Ukrainian to suggest that it was a sign of “weakness” on the part of the 27-year-old Briton.

But former unified light-welterweight world champion Khan told the PA news agency: “People know when there's a push or a pull, there'll always be a little bit of hype behind it.
