HOT NEWS: Chaos Erupts As Daniel Dubois SHOVES Usyk At WEMBLEY In a FACE-OFF!

Tensions boiled over at Wembley Stadium on Monday, April 28, 2025, when IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois shoved unified WBC, WBA, and WBO titleholder Oleksandr Usyk during a heated face-off, sparking chaos just weeks ahead of their highly anticipated rematch on July 19. The altercation, which nearly escalated into a full-blown brawl before security intervened, has set the stage for what promises to be an explosive showdown for the undisputed heavyweight championship.

A Shove That Ignited Chaos

The incident occurred during a promotional event on the Wembley pitch, where Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) and Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) were posing for photographs to hype their upcoming fight. As the two squared off in the center circle, Dubois abruptly shoved Usyk in the chest with both hands, catching the Ukrainian off guard and sending him stumbling backward. Usyk, visibly angered, gestured animatedly as security rushed in to separate the fighters, while members of both camps shouted across the divide.

The moment, captured on video by Queensberry Promotions, quickly went viral, with posts on X showing the shove from multiple angles and fans reacting with a mix of excitement and concern. The altercation marked a dramatic escalation in the rivalry between the two heavyweights, who first met in August 2023 when Usyk stopped Dubois in the ninth round—a fight marred by controversy over a disputed low blow call that Dubois and his team still insist was a legal shot.

A Rivalry Fueled by Bad Blood

The shove was just the latest chapter in a bitter feud that has been simmering since their first encounter. Dubois, 27, has been vocal about his desire for revenge, claiming he was robbed of victory in 2023 when the referee allowed Usyk extra time to recover from what was ruled a low blow. “I should have won the first fight and was denied by the referee,” Dubois said in a statement on April 27. “I’ll make no mistake this time in front of my people at Wembley.”

Usyk, 38, who became the first undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt era after defeating Tyson Fury in May 2024, appeared unfazed by the incident during a press conference the following day. Addressing the controversial low blow from their first fight, Usyk told Sky Sports, “Not my problem!” while holding up printed photos of the punch to make light of the situation. However, the gesture only seemed to inflame Dubois’ camp further, with trainer Don Charles accusing Usyk of “conning the boxing world” and suggesting he deserved an Oscar for his reaction to the blow.

The Stakes Couldn’t Be Higher

The July 19 rematch at Wembley Stadium will see all four major heavyweight belts on the line, with Usyk defending his WBC, WBA, and WBO titles against Dubois’ IBF strap. Dubois earned the IBF belt after Usyk vacated it to pursue a rematch with Fury, and he solidified his status with a stunning fifth-round knockout of Anthony Joshua at Wembley in September 2024. Promoter Frank Warren has hailed Dubois as “the most destructive and dangerous heavyweight puncher” in the sport, citing his recent stoppage wins over Joshua, Filip Hrgovic, and Jarrell Miller.

Usyk, meanwhile, is coming off a historic 2024, having beaten Fury twice to cement his legacy as one of boxing’s all-time greats. His promoter, Alexander Krassyuk, promised fans “a version of Usyk you’ve never seen before,” vowing to leave “no more controversies, no more question marks.” Usyk himself added a lighthearted twist, revealing that Warren had promised to buy him a Bentley if he wins—a reward Usyk seems eager to claim.

The Boxing World Reacts

The shove has electrified the boxing community, with fans and pundits buzzing about the intensity of the buildup. On X, reactions poured in, with one user writing, “Dubois shoving Usyk like that? This fight just got personal—July 19 can’t come soon enough!” Another expressed concern, stating, “That kind of tension before a fight is dangerous. Hope both guys stay safe.” The hashtag #UsykDubois2 trended worldwide, reflecting the global anticipation for the rematch.

Former champion Tony Bellew, speaking to Seconds Out, predicted a late stoppage for Usyk, saying, “Usyk has already made him quit once—he’ll stop Dubois between rounds eight and twelve.” However, others believe Dubois’ newfound confidence and destructive power could pose a real threat to Usyk’s reign. “Dubois is a different fighter now,” promoter Frank Warren told ESPN. “He’s shown he can beat world-class fighters in sensational style. This won’t be a boring fight.”

What’s Next for Usyk and Dubois?

The chaos at Wembley has only heightened the stakes for what promises to be a historic night of boxing. With 90,000 seats available at the iconic stadium, Warren believes the event could break the attendance record set by
