Dubois shoves Usyk ahead of rematch

BOXING Daniel Dubois shoved Oleksandr Usyk before security hastily separated the heavyweight rivals after they went head-to-head at Wembley Stadium to promote this summer's rematch.

- 

It was announced on Sunday that IBF champion Dubois will try to avenge the August 2023 defeat he suffered to Usyk - the WBC, WBA and WBO titlist - at England's national football stadium on July 19.

The pair were at the venue yesterday morning and posing for photographs on the centre circle of the pitch when, during a face-off, Dubois abruptly pushed the Ukrainian in the chest.

Usyk, in a light blue tracksuit, and Dubois, wearing a suit, briefly squared off before several security guards ran in to stop the situation from escalating ahead of their undisputed showdown.
