There’ll probably be more viewers for this fight in the UK.

It’s $29.99 for US fans.

It's PPV for anyone who doesn't have BT Sport, which is everywhere outside of the UK.
Oh the dilemma!
Should I pay my hard earned money for a non title (pleather and pewter belt) fight and a small hall undercard?

On the US side? Or UK?

What promotion?! The only thing I’ve seen is a short clip that’s being played out occasionally on BT Sport.

Full presser and face off

Who wins over 12 rounds with Reyes Cleto gloves California rules.

King or Arum?

Genuine question.

King still waving his mini flags around.

Surprised Frank ain’t there.. he sent Francis.

He probably didnt fancy a trip down memory lane with DK, especially as it ruined him financially after their court case back in the day.

Frank’s been spending too much time promoting his U.K. show.

There is nothing even on BT boxing YouTube page.

Frank must’ve been chortling as he saw Francis’ 1000 yard pleasegodgetmeoutofhere stare as he sat through Don’s 30 min press conf lecture on Donald Trump, the war, putin and lord knows what else ..

It’s a big night for Frank, wouldn’t be surprised to see him turn up in Florida Saturday

Looking at Francis’ face when Don started talking about the queen is utter gold.

Bryan is playing up in the head to head and Dubois looks a little startled but I think DDD bangs him out pretty early.

I can only speak for the UK side. The fight hasn't really been promoted at all. Very few people know that this fight is even happening.

There was too much of Don King at the presser, as if the old fart had indeed decided to sell the useless Bryan out, to fed him up to the decent and relatively popular fighter and just to get more attention ahead of the inevitable demise.

Dubois: I Think It's Good To Fight In U.S., Win Over The American Audience

“I think it’s good to fight [in the U.S.], to win over the American audience,” Dubois told BS.com and an intimate group of reporters during a private Zoom media conference call. “That really makes me popular and world-known. This is where it’s at. I can’t wait to go in there and deliver.”

“It was a warmup,” Dubois admitted of his U.S. debut. “It was good to come over here and get a taste for what it’s like. Now I’m back for more.

“This is the big one. I’m looking forward to it. It’s a world title fight, the biggest fight of my life. I want to show him what I got. They’re sending me abroad. We’ll see where they send me next.”

““We’re going back to the UK,” noted Dubois’ Hall of Fame promoter. “He’s coming back to London. Win this and come back with the belt.”

My official prediction (if nothing bizarre happens and fight takes place):

Round 1. Relatively calm and close, feeling out process. Bryan looks not that sh!tty for a while.

Round 2. Dub hurts Bryan or drops him later on. Bryan survives to the bell, but remains ready to go.

Round 3. Dub ultimately brutalizes Bryan.

After the bout: Don Kings goes to the ring, waves the British flag and tries to pal up with Dub.

Yep - that’s my thinking too although I’d be a little surprised if it makes it to round 3.

Bryan (22-0, 15 KOs) weighed 259.6 pounds, nine pounds lighter than his most recent fight in January.

Dubois (17-1, 16 KOs) weighed in at 241.6 pounds as he fights in the U.S. for the second straight time.

Jonathan Guidry weighed 257.8 pounds. Dacarree Scott weighed 253.6 pounds.

Below are the weights for the rest of the undercard.

Johnnie Langston (10-3, 4 KOs), Sarasota, Florida, 202.8* pounds vs, Isaiah Thompson (6-1-1, 5 KOs), Plantation, Florida, 194 pounds—10 rds, cruiserweight

* Langston is 2.8 pounds over the cruiserweight limit, has one additional hour to make weight

Raynel Mederos (6-0, 1 KO), Miami via Santa Clara, Cuba, 141.8 pounds vs. Ryan Wilson (1-0, 1 KO), 142.2 pounds—6 rds, junior welterweight

Luis J Rodriguez (8-0, 8 KOs), Toa Alta, Puerto Rico, 167.2 pounds vs. Ryan Adams (8-5-1, 6 KOs), St. Louis, 166.8 pounds—6 rds, super middleweight

Bryan looked absolutely atrocious on the scales I thought.

As if he’s barely trained. Can my prediction of an upset it’s Dubois early.

Daniel Dubois by absolute massacre.

I don't know if he looked much differently in the past James. Maybe a bit more dad-bod than against Stiverne.

Yeah, I'm thinking sooner than 4.
Bryant may surprise us, but I doubt it.
His level of competition is so low that he doesn't even feature in HW top 10 discussions despite having some trinket belt.

you know what it wouldnt me either, dd has been with some decent competion i personally had him up against joyce before the stop neither here or there tho , who is fighting on the world stage now
