Dubois was stopped in the fifth round of his rematch with Usyk at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night, with fans accusing the Brit of quitting in the fight
Video has surfaced of Daniel Dubois ' corner throwing in the towel before the referee called off the Brit's rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
‌
The heavyweight stars clashed at Wembley on Saturday night in front of over 90,000 fans. Usyk dominated most of the bout with his sharp jabs and swift movement. Dubois had his moments - notably in the fourth round - as he sought to level the series.
‌
However, the Ukrainian put an end to the rivalry in the fifth round when he knocked 'Triple D' down with a counter right. Dubois managed to beat the count before being sent tumbling to the canvas again with a savage left hand just seconds later - prompting the referee to call off the fight.
‌
Over the years, the 27-year-old has faced accusations of quitting fights, and these claims resurfaced on Saturday night. However, these allegations were swiftly dismissed after video appeared online showing the Brit's team throwing in the towel moments before the referee ended the scrap, reports All Out Fighting.
All things considered, it was a rather grim night for Dubois - from start to finish. The Brit caused concern among boxing fans when he arrived at Wembley just 90 minutes before his rematch with the Ukrainian. 'Triple D' was spotted arriving at the stadium shortly after 8:15pm UK time - leaving him barely any time to properly settle in before having to make his way to the ring.
It has since come to light that a pre-fight party at the Dubois household and a travel mishap were to blame. The Brit's father Stan is thought to have hosted a gathering at his Essex home on the afternoon of the fight. It's been reported that the young British heavyweight didn't even know all of the guests and left halfway through for a quick drive.
Little did Dubois know, he was cutting it close to make it to Wembley on time. Their departure would only cause more problems after Dubois' father requested an extra carrier to transport his group to the venue. There were further delays after Stan drove himself and his son to the venue.
To their annoyance, only designated vehicles had been granted entry into Wembley Stadium - which shockingly meant that both Dubois and his dad had to walk to the stadium entrance from the car park. The drama didn't stop there, though. When they finally arrived, a large portion of Dubois' group were denied entry. Stan allegedly then told security that his son wouldn't continue without them.

When is Daniel Dubois' next fight?
Whether the constant delays on the day of the fight affected Dubois' performance remains to be seen. As for what's next for the young Brit, his promoter Frank Warren has advised 'Triple D' to take six months off and learn from Usyk's mental resilience if he wants to make it back to the top.
Warren stated: "You've got to learn from defeats, I mean that's what life's about, isn't it? You know, not everything goes your way, you got to come back, it's the mark of a man if he can do it, and we'll see if he could do it.
"He's got to resurrect himself. That's what we've had to do. That's the story. Usyk a quality, quality fighter, he has a great boxing IQ, and he's got the most unbelievable mental attitude. That's what makes him. That's what Daniel's got to learn from. Try and get and develop the mental attitude that Usyk has."
