Promoters hiring Wembley will continue to have the last word on accreditation disputes after a British journalist was barred from the Anthony Joshua-Daniel Dubois fight at the weekend.

The Telegraph’s chief sports writer, Oliver Brown, says he was refused access to Saturday’s heavyweight world title bout after writing an opinion piece on Friday which was critical of Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the sport.
