The bizarre incident took place ahead of the rematch following the Ukrainian controversially beating DDD in their first fight back in August 2023.
Dubois floored Usyk in the fifth round, but the punch was deemed a low blow by the referee, who then allowed The Cat almost four minutes to recover.

I shed 4st on fat jabs to banish my ‘six chins' for my wedding day – despite devastating side-effect I won't give up
'I looked and felt awful and I wanted to look good for my wedding, I don't want to be a fat bride,' Kimberly, says NO WEIGH I shed 4st on fat jabs to banish my 'six chins' for my wedding day – despite devastating side-effect I won't give up Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KIMBERLY Maberly endured a devastating side effect to fat jabs so she could walk down the aisle with a smaller waistline. The 42-year-old comedian has dropped 4st since starting GLP-1 injections last October - but says the powerful slimming drug has left her thick blonde hair falling out in clumps.

"It's now at a point where if I'm in the shower it literally falls out in clumps." The comedy club owner tipped the scales at 17st and a dress size 22 at her heaviest when she decided to fork out £220 for a month's worth of the jabs from a pharmacy after a consultation with her GP. Kimberly, now a size 16 and weighing 13st, was sick of dodging jokes about her "six chins" during her comedy roast battles and refused to be a "fat bride" for her wedding in July 2026. The family of drugs known as GLP-1 RAs, originally developed to treat diabetes, are now often being used for weight loss as they were found to suppress appetite. She said: "I looked and felt awful and I wanted to look good for my wedding, I don't want to be a fat bride." "I did diet clubs and slimming shakes but the results were always mediocre. I was drawn to [weight loss jabs] as it seemed like a quick fix." "I do roast battles at the comedy club and one of the things that people mentioned all the time was my weight. "When all you're looking at is your six chins, instead of going 'oh I got a few laughs there' that becomes another reason for wanting to lose weight." But the jabs came with a cruel price. Kimberly has had to stop washing her hair regularly to prevent more fallout and now hides it under a cap when out and about. Weight Loss Jabs - Pros vs Cons She doesn't even let her fiancé, Andrew Fisher, see what is left of her locks. "I know he doesn't care, but I do," she explained. "She added: I was FaceTiming my sister who is a hairdresser and showing her and I just started crying. "I was looking underneath and it was patchy. I daren't get anyone to check my full head because I don't want to know the full extent." Trying to see the positives, Kimberly has embraced wigs - even making them a bit of fun. She said: "[In May] I thought 'what if I try a wig?' That way I could carry on with the [weight-loss injections] and hide behind the wigs." 7 Wigs hide hair loss Credit: Kennedy News 7 Fiancé Andrew has been loving Kimberly's new looks Credit: Kennedy News 7 Andrew has been telling everyone he's getting a different girlfriend every day Credit: Kennedy News "I was really trying to make the most of my hair by wearing headbands, trying to part it differently so it didn't look so bad, but wigs have become part of my everyday as it got worse." "It's a bit of fun and I can be different every day." Despite what Kimberly thinks, Andrew has been loving the new looks too. "He's been telling everyone he's getting a different girlfriend every day," she said. "He likes the pink wig — he says that one is his favourite." 'You don't have to worry about bad hair days' Despite the hair loss, Kimberly is determined to stay positive. She added: "I decided I could either cry and moan about how little [hair] I've got or not, I'm just having fun with it and embracing it. "The way I look at it is that my hair's going to grow back, but the weight isn't going to come back on. "I'm still taking it now and if I could go back to October and decide not to take it, I wouldn't change a thing. Now on her last prescription, Kimberly wants to give her hair a year to recover ahead of the wedding. "I'm aiming to lose the last stone before the big day without using skinny jabs." "I'm not at my target weight, but I wanted a whole year off the jabs to recover my hair for the wedding. "Even if I want a hair piece or extensions for the wedding day, I need to have more growth before that's possible." She said wearing wigs has given her the confidence she needed. "But I see them [wigs] as a temporary measure to a problem that will go away." She added: "I'd say to other women suffering from hair loss to see it as another accessory to add to your look, plus you don't have to worry about bad hair days." 7 Kimberly didn't want to be a 'fat bride' for her wedding in July 2026 Credit: Kennedy News

Venus Williams, 45, confirms engagement to actor partner, 37, as she rolls back years to win first match in TWO YEARS
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) VENUS WILLIAMS rolled back the years last night to win for the first time since August 2023. The seven-time Grand Slam champion, 45, surprisingly accepted a wildcard to return in Washington DC this week.

The WTA Tour veteran looked like she'd never been away as she defeated world No35 Peyton Stearns, 22 years her junior, 6-3 6-4 in front of a raucous night session crowd. In doing so, Williams became the second-oldest woman to ever win a singles match at tour level, only behind Martina Navratilova, who did so at 47-years-old. The American legend won her first tour-level match 31 years ago, aged just 14. After her historic triumph, Williams revealed on court that she is engaged to actor partner Andrea Preti. The tennis icon said: "My fiance is here and he really encouraged me to keep playing. "There were so many times where I just wanted to coast and kind of chill. Do you know how hard it is to play tennis? "You guys don't know how much work goes into this, like it's 9 to 5 except you're running the whole time.

So he encouraged me to get through this and it's wonderful to be here. He's never seen me play." Williams is also playing the doubles event in DC this week. Tennis star Venus Williams talks about her struggles with chronic illness and Sjogren's syndrome Partnering Hailey Baptiste, Williams beat Eugenie Bouchard and Clervie Ngounoue 6-3 6-1 to advance to round two. Speaking about partnering Baptiste, Williams poked fun at her retired sister Serena. She said: "I think from the first point I could see that we were going to be a good team. "We just should have started playing earlier, years ago, right? I think Serena was just in the way." Williams and Baptiste will be back in action later today, as they take on No2 seeds Taylor Townsend and Zhang Shuai in the quarter-finals. The veteran will then return again for the singles tomorrow, taking on Poland's Magdalena Frech. Williams has entered the revamped US Open mixed doubles event, which also featured Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu, alongside pal Reilly Opelka. The two-time US Open champion could also look for a singles wildcard at Flushing Meadows. 7 Williams is also playing doubles this week alongside Hailey Baptiste Credit: Getty
