Daniel Dubois arrived late on Saturday evening in Wembley Stadium for his global heavyweight title setup with Oleksandr Usyk, a fight in which the Ukrainian showed his class to win by knocked out against 27-year-old Brit
Daniel Dubois arrived late in Wembley for the biggest evening of his career after his father had held a party in the parental home in the afternoon before Saturday’s showdown with Oleksandr Usyk. The Essex -based Brawler rested for the undisputed confrontation in Wembley Stadium when invited guests of his father, Stan, were at the house.
Dubois, 27, briefly left the house because he did not know those present. His father later drove him to Wembley after private cars that were accredited to enter the area around the National Stadium were used to transport guests to the location.
That delayed the arrival of Dubois if the car in which they traveled was not accredited and he only came to the location 80 minutes before the planned ring running time. Usyk arrived an hour earlier. There were also chaotic scenes when entering the location to get some of those party guests to the location with Dubois in the middle of all this.
Dubois was stopped by Usyk in the fifth round of the fight when he surrendered the IBF belt, while the Ukrainian became a triple champion.
Promoter Frank Warren has called on Dubois to have six months off and to learn from the man he suffered, has had two career reports when it comes to mental resilience.

The delay that goes to the location is not used as an excuse for the Dubois team for the extensive defeat by Usyk. But it is another sign of the strange relationship he has with his father.
Some critics – such as heavyweight Dave Allen – have said that Stan did not shout in the corner about head coach Don Charles. It was Charles who thrown into the towel when referee Michael Griffin waved the fight when Dubois de Graaf had not defeated.
In the meantime, Scotland star Josh Taylor has been withdrawn from boxing due to an eye injury. Taylor, 34, won the undisputed light-cycling weight Kroon after a series of victories against Viktor Postol, Ivan Baranchyk, Regis Program and Jose Ramirez saw him all four belts collect on 10th.
He has been at a point of three straight defeats against Teofimo Lopez, Jack Catterall and Ekow Essuman, the latter of which a failed switch to Welterweight.
But it is a recurring eye injury that has endangered his eyesight when he continues to fight, therefore the Puncher Preston Pans hangs them to end a career that saw him the best in Scotland since Ken Buchanan.
He said: “End of an era. I have lived my dream over the past 10 years and conquered Mount Everest. Thank you to you all for the support of what this crazy roller coaster has been of a trip.
“Boxing is all I have ever known, but let’s see what life has to offer on the other side of the ropes.”
