Dubois and Usyk didn’t mention it at all.

Rematch is on now. Just STFU.

Let’s get on with it.

Coming from the poster who has shared every YouTube video that they mention it, that is quite a statement

I'm only posting what's been done in the promotion so far.

I'm not banging on about it

Dubois is a quitter.
He quit against Joyce, he quit against Usyk the first time, and he will quit again in the rematch

Tickets are on sale now

I think he also ducked Parker, to get this fight.

100%

They tried to blend it.

Usyk mentioned he wanted ti fight Dubois weeks before. Dubois flys to Saudi, he even appears looking all smiles at the media work out, then suddenly the next day, he’s been given doctors orders to not fight.

Yh right. Then he goes media silent.

We know he can’t talk to save his life. So he just went into hiding.

As soon as he pulled out of the fight, we knew this was his nezt fight.

Embarrassing by team Dubois at the press conference. What a bunch of pudenda. I used to have time for Don Charles, although I can't remember why. He has often come across quite poorly. David Haye wasn't unjust in chinning him, was he?

As a big Usyk fan I can't pass up an opportunity to see him fight in the flesh and so shelled out on some floor seats for this. Who knows if he'll fight in the UK again? They weren't hard to get, just a bit of waiting in the queue.

I wonder how well it's selling? Slowly I hope, so that they're forced into providing a decent undercard.

I'll look forward to any updates, Ruthless

Who do we suspect will be on the undercard?

What's Aadam Hamed doing these days?

I remember he made his debut on the first fights undercard..

I reckon they should get Parker on there.. But will sell if its against a British boxer..

I would imagine Moses Itauma against someone with a pulse is the best chief support we can expect for this. Without Saudi money, I can’t see anything other than Queensbury fighters against TBAs.

Frank has said 60k Tickets have been sold today

90k tickets were sold for the last Wembley fight I bothered with- Fury vs Whyte -and the undercard for that was amongst the worst I have ever attended. I will not moan about the main event: it is worth every penny to see Oleksandr Usyk do his stuff. I would hope however after the gazillions Wazza has earned sucking up to the Middle East he could at least throw on 2 or 3 half decent fights as support.

Parker is a Queensbury fighter. Let’s have him on against someone as chief support?

Itauma against David Adeleye for the British should absolutely be on there

There are no low-level British fighters to entice Parker. Huni would be the best choice. Rubbish fighter, easy win for Parker, but a big enough fight to draw the rabid Australasia punters into a derby PPV. All evidence suggests they are even worse than the Poms for this kind of nonsense: a pound shop AJ vs Whyte, surely?

Huni would make sense. Okolie would be the only WBO ranked British heavyweight that would realistically make sense.

Parker is WBO interim and Okolie is ranked at 5. If Kabayel and Parker won't face each other then I think it makes a bit of sense. Huni is ranked at 1 so obviously they have that in mind.

I could see Itauma being on the card and having him fight for the interim interim.

The interim regular title yh

They really are trying hard to sell this lemon.
If the undercard doesn't have at least two decent fights on it, I'll be waiting until it comes on YouTube.
The Saudi fights have set a standard and Fwank has the stable....

I'm not convinced it is a lemon. I think both Dubois and Parker have near as damn it become different men in the last two years or so by whatever means. They've likely reasoned that if they don't take drastic action the game is up. I think the aging Usyk will be sternly tested by either.

If only the first fight was closer.
And yes Uysk may have aged, but this and quite possibly a rematch are not the last two fights I want to see of a once in a generation heavyweight.
That, to me at least, is a real shame.
I haven't seen a HW champ this special since watching Ali as a child. To have his last 7 fights against 3 guys is a real shame.
Hence me calling this what it is, a lemon.

turk wants a black hw champ
