Dubois doesn't deserve the shot but... I do think he may have his moments. He let's his hands go, and every punch is the KO shot, unlike Joshua. I suspect Dubois will be beaten, but... I do think he might make Usyk look vulnerable at times. The aggressiveness, and being a basically young and fearless slugger type is going to be interesting.

Dubois has more than enough in his arsenal to make this interesting.

Usyk is not superman.

For sure - especially in the early rounds as Usyk does his typical measuring his opponent and before Dubois get disheartened/discouraged.

Will Usyk risk taking it easy with Dubois as he did with Chisora to tempt Fury??

Why’s Dubois 6th in the boxrec rankings. He should be 15th and nowhere near a world title shot.

He hasn’t shown any discernible improvement since the Joyce defeat and needed a big favour from the ref to beat Larena last time out.

This is the kind of joke fight for a world title that gives boxing a bad name.

Thanks for posting the link to the Uysk vs Dubois Press Conference.

Alex Krassyuk made an interesting statement:

" It is an honour to be working with Queensbury, but I can't say it has been a pleasure".

Sounds like negotiations between the two sides have not been the easiest.

I'm looking forward to this fight. Dubois backs himself, which is good to see.

I liked Daniels demeanour & he actually opened his mouth and spoke quite confidently.

That’ll be class. Are you going to drive it? I floated it to some mates but none were overly interested (a couple didn’t have a clue who Dubois was!). We did Klitschko vs Haye and Fury but all of have young kids now so harder to get away.

I’m flying direct from East Midlands. Under £100 for 3 nights at The Ibis at the stadium for us both.

Would you prefer that he looked like a terrified man child?
