The delayed arrival caused concern on the night and remained a mystery in the aftermath of Usyk's fifth-round knockout.
But it has since emerged that Dubois' imposing dad and mentor Stan threw a party on the afternoon of the fight at their Essex mansion.
Around 70 PEOPLE are said to have been there - some of whom the former IBF champion did not even know.
And now footage has been shared online of Dubois being mobbed by crowds of people at his house while music plays in the background.

DANIEL DELAYED Dubois was late for Usyk fight 'thanks to dad's party and travel blunder'
The heavyweight is seen awkwardly smiling and posing for pictures as dozens of party goers chant "and the new" and "that's the champ".
It has been pointed out online that Dubois had a similar gathering in September before he knocked out Anthony Joshua at Wembley.
On that occasion, it was Joshua, 35, who arrived suspiciously late to the fight and his coaching team afterwards made that a point of discussion.
A report by The Times also suggested Dubois' departure was delayed after Stan requested extra people carriers to bring his entourage to Wembley.
Usyk vs Dubois round by round as brutal knockout cements Ukrainian's place in history
OLEKSANDR USYK cemented his name in the list of all-time boxing greats as he became a three-time undisputed champion with a fifth round knockout win over Daniel Dubois.
Usyk dropped Dubois multiple times as he put any doubts about his first win over the Brit to bed by cementing the repeat and avoiding the revenge.
Here, SunSport's Jack Figg gives his round-by-round verdict...
ROUND ONE
Usyk looks light on his toes, swaying side to side, Dubois plants his feet and walks forward.
Stiff jab from Usyk appears to almost wake Dubois up and the Brit responds with a one-two.
Usyk searches to the body with a left, blocks a right hand from Dubois and ends the round with a menacing combo.
Usyk 10 Dubois 9
ROUND TWO
Dubois lunges in with a right hand, Usyk expertly takes half a step back and responds with a counter left.
Another right misses from Dubois and he takes a left cross which has him on shaky legs.
Already Usyk is finding his rhythm, making Dubois miss and certainly making him pay.
Usyk 10 Dubois 9 (Usyk 20 Dubois 18)
ROUND THREE
Usyk staggers back after a right hand from Dubois - maybe more off balance than hurt.
Dubois charges forward with a left hook, right hand but Usyk covers up well.
Huge left hook lands on the button from Usyk, sweat sprays off Dubois face.
Usyk 10 Dubois 9 (Usyk 30 Dubois 27)
ROUND FOUR
Right uppercut lands on Usyk's belt-line in a genuine case of dejavu from low-blow gate in their first fight.
Dubois traps Usyk in the corner, lands a right but the Ukrainian legend slips off before any troubling damage can be done.
Left hand lands for Usyk but Dubois grabs on and closes the distance, smart defence to cap off his best round so far.
Usyk 9 Dubois 10 (Usyk 39 Dubois 37)
ROUND FIVE
Right hook followed by a left hand lands for Usyk has Dubois teetering backwards.
Dubois comes forward, charging at Usyk and the two trade off in the corner but DOWN GOES DUBOIS after a counter right hook.
He makes it to his feet but is dropped with another left hook and the fight is over! Dubois fails to beat the count and Usyk is once again undisputed heavyweight world champion.

Stan then drove Dubois, 27, to the venue himself, which caused further issues as only designated vehicles had been accredited entry.
The boxer and his dad then astonishingly had to then WALK to the stadium entrance on foot from the car park.
Oleksandr Usyk has press conference in stitches as he NAMES the left hook that floored Daniel Dubois at Wembley
When the pair did finally arrive, footage surfaced online of Dubois' entourage being refused entry by security.
It is claimed Stan essentially told them that Dubois - one half of the night's headline act - would not proceed without them.
The ringside seating area had close to 50 chairs saved for guests of Stan Dubois.
Whether or not the delay affected the result of the fight is up for debate - but Usyk certainly appeared a league above Dubois in the ring.
He floored the Londoner with a right hook in round five and a subsequent left moments later closed the show.
'You just run out of things to say' – Usyk is a modern day great and one of the best boxers we have ever seen
OLEKSANDR USYK is a modern day great and one of the best boxers we have ever seen.
The Ukrainian battered a gallant but completely outclassed Daniel Dubois in their Wembley rematch to become a three-time undisputed champion.
Two of those came at heavyweight after he had already cleaned up the cruiserweight division.
You just run out of things to say about Usyk.
Everything that he does just impresses you more and more and more.
Read the full comment piece on the Ukrainian's stunning KO victory.
Usyk, 38, is now a three-time undisputed champion across two divisions and could be ordered to face WBO mandatory Joseph Parker, 33, next.
Dubois' bizarre fight-day party has become a huge talking point in the days after the bout with even Parker himself stunned by the scenes.
He said on talkSPORT: "That is insanely disruptive. I'm very surprised, I'm shocked. That many people over? You're preparing for a massive fight.
"You need rest, you need to chill, you need to get in the zone."
Ex-cruiserweight champion Lawrence Okolie - who beat Kevin Lerena on the undercard - used to train with Dubois under coach Shane McGuigan.
And Okolie, 32, said: "The problem is, it's coming from someone that he looks (to) out of the ring. It's coming from his dad.
"I've trained with him, his dad's a huge part of his life, so that is obviously going to be disruptive."

The Ironman event included a 1.2-mile swim in Prince of Wales Dock, a 56-mile bike course through the coastal roads and countryside of Gower, and a 13.1-mile run along the Mumbles. It follows the tragic death of grandfather Andrew Ireland, 61, of Bridgend, South Wales, in 2023 when he drowned during the 750feet swim in the first section of the gruelling three-part race. Mr Buchan was named by the Swansea coroner before an inquest is due to be opened - but it was not disclosed where about in Scotland he was from. Ironman Wales said: "It is with a heavy heart that we confirm the passing of an athlete who competed in last weekend's Ironman 70.3 Swansea triathlon. "Approximately half-way into the swim portion of the race, swim safety personnel noticed and responded to an athlete in difficulty. "The athlete received immediate medical care while being taken via boat to a designated extraction point on the harbour, where further treatment was administered." Their post continued: "Our deepest condolences are with the family and friends of the athlete." Around 1,500 competitors set off for competition before both athletes and families witnessed attempts to rescue the grandfather. Mr Ireland was described him as a 'loving husband, father and grandfather who will be greatly missed' after he died two years ago.

Oleksandr Usyk is one of boxing's greats – but he'll never be able to enjoy success due to horrors of Ukraine war
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OLEKSANDR USYK'S fame and fortune is a 'curse' while his friends and countrymen are lying dead in trenches and bomb sites. Derek Chisora lost a 12-round decision against the two-weight undisputed genius in 2020 but the pair bashed up an unlikely bromance.

Del Boy was ringside to watch Usyk's latest four-belt crowning over Daniel Dubois on Saturday night at Wembley, cementing his place as a generational talent and a multi-millionaire. But he told our Split Decision YouTube show that all the belts and cash in the world are wasted on the devout 38-year-old, while Vladimir Putin lays siege to his home and slaughters his nation. Chisora explained: 'He has made so much money but he can't enjoy it because his country is at war.

He is cursed. 'He can't go on holiday in St Tropez and sunbathe and drink tequila because his friends are in the trenches. 'He can't enjoy his money. He can't because he is all Ukraine has right now."

Oleksandr Usyk has press conference in stitches as he NAMES the left hook that floored Daniel Dubois at Wembley He said: 'The population is going down because so many people, young men, are dying. 'It's so difficult for him but it's also why he is so dedicated, he is doing it for his whole nation. 'If it's your destiny then it's your destiny. If God says it's your path then nothing will take you away from it.' Arguments about cross-generation fantasy fights will rage on in pubs and online forums. But Chisora tries to keep it short and sweet. He added: 'Usyk is 100 per cent a top-10 heavyweight and he is in my top-five. 'European amateur champion, Olympic gold medalist, undisputed cruiserweight world champion and two-time undisputed heavyweight champion. 'What more else can he do? He has whooped us all. He has taken the p***!'

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Fury has reversed his decision to retire for a fourth time Credit: PA Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh recently revealed that he is currently negotiating a three-fight deal with Fury, who was undefeated before losing to Usyk. And there were three names on the Brit's list when iFL TV asked him to list match-ups that would motivate him to box again. Fury said: "Well, don't hold your breath, it's not going to be this year, but it might be next year. "If I get the right offer, it might be 2026. If it turns me on, then I will come back.

Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk, Daniel Dubois, any of them or maybe all of them." Fury won't be able to make a comeback until next year due to his ongoing commitments to various projects with Netflix. The two-time world heavyweight champion is currently in the middle of filming a documentary about his family life as well as the second series of At Home With The Furys. Once that's wrapped up, Alalshikh intends to start sowing the seeds for a mouth-watering all-British showdown between Fury and Joshua. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Alalshikh recently told The Boxing Voice: "Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury next year, we are trying to do it and we are thinking about it." Before Usyk knockout Dubois inside five rounds on Saturday, Fury appeared at a boxing event at BOXPARK where he confirmed to fans that he would indeed return. Tyson Fury leaps to Daniel Dubois' defence after Oleksandr Usyk defeat He previously said: "I do miss it, every single day I wake up in the morning and miss it. I've been away seven months, missed it everyday. I'm open to offers at the moment." "The takeover! I'm gonna be 37 in about three weeks so I'm going to be the oldest swinger with all these young boys coming up it's going to be difficult." A trilogy with Usyk is Fury's priority, but it will depend on the Ukrainian's plans for the future. The three-time undisputed king did name Fury to the crowd when listing who he should fight next, also including Derek Chisora, AJ and Joseph Parker in the line-up. Parker, 33, has been named as the mandatory challenger for 38-year-old's Usyk's IBO world heavyweight title.
