Daniel Dubois accused of stealing Oleksandr Usyk’s moment with bizarre call-out after Tyson Fury rematch win
Daniel Dubois gatecrashed Oleksandr Usyk's post-fight interview on Saturday night to call for a rematch.
Usyk was in outstanding form in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as he scored a second consecutive win over Fury on points.

The judges were split over their inaugural encounter in May with two going with Usyk and one scoring it for Fury.
But there was no such debate this time, with all three officials having it 116-112 in the Ukrainian's favour.
After getting his hand raised, Usyk took to the mic, to have his moment.
However, halfway through his post-fight speech Dubois invaded the ring and shouted down the mic: "Usyk I want my revenge!

"I want my revenge. I want my revenge for last time. Let's go.
"Where is Frank [Warren], let it happen?"
Usyk appeared to agree: "Your Excellency, make me fight with Daniel Dubois, thank you so much.
"Yeah, no problem. I am ready, the next fight. No problem."

Dubois' antics were not well received by talkSPORT's Gareth A. Davies and Spencer Oliver, who accused the Brit of stealing Usyk's moment.
"He was doorstepping the moment. I don't agree with it," said Davies on the talkSPORT broadcast.

Spencer Oliver then added: "Let him enjoy his moment.
"He's proven he's the best. There was no need for Daniel to do that. Let's not forget, he still has to fight Joseph Parker."
Dubois will face Parker to defend his IBF heavyweight title on February 22.
His actions in the ring on Saturday backed up what he has told talkSPORT in the lead-up to Fury vs Usyk 2.
"I'm out here in Saudi and I want the winner on Saturday," he told talkSPORT's White and Jordan show last week.
"I want the winner, I want to fight for the undisputed.

"That is what the aim is now, that is the goal. 100 per cent [I would beat them].
"This is my time now, I have been through the ups and downs but I'm a new man.
"I am a man of the future and I'm ready to fight for the undisputed and win and go down in boxing history."
Usyk could face Dubois again following a KO win against him in August after being dropped by a shot that divided fans.

Some claimed the punch, which floored Usyk for several minutes, was legal and should have been counted while others insisted it had strayed low.
The referee determined it was an illegal blow and so Usyk was given four minutes to recover before rebounding to stop Dubois in the ninth round with a stiff jab.
