Daniel Dubois snapped back at a reporter’s question as he prepares to fight Oleksandr Usyk this weekend.
The 27-year-old, who is the current IBF heavyweight champion, takes on unified champion Usyk at Wembley on Sunday.
Over 80,000 tickets have been sold for the bout, which will see a new undisputed heavyweight champion crowned.
It is the second professional fight between the pair, with Usyk winning the first via ninth-round knockout in Warsaw in 2023 to retain his unified belts.
It was only Dubois’ second career loss, and he has since bounced back by defeating Filip Hrgovic to win the vacant IBF belt, before a stunning fifth-round knockout of Anthony Joshua last September.
Tensions have flared throughout the build-up to the Usyk vs Dubois bout – and did so again when a reporter asked both fighters about the manner of Dubois’ defeat in their first encounter.

The Englishman was sent to the canvas by a jab to the body from his opponent and the fight was waved off.
In an interview with DAZN, Usyk said he was not surprised that Dubois did not beat the 10 count as his ‘jab was hard’.
But when interviewer Darren Barker put that answer to Dubois, the IBF champion was less than happy.
He replied: “I do not even want to go there. We are talking about s**t that is all in the past and gone.
“I do not know what you are trying to… I know what you are doing, you are doing your job. But I am looking forward to causing chaos in the ring on Saturday, and that is my game and my priority.”
