It’s just a silly risk as at any point Usyk can just get old, and cruiserweights moving up have a long history of durability issues cropping up eventually. Dubios gets a lot of stick and looked poor in his last fight, but is still a little bit of an unknown quantity in terms of how much he may still improve. I’d think Usyk will win by stoppage in around 10, with Dubois on his feet but basically just taking punishment. But who knows?

I've been betting 'dead certs' at bad odds for a long time and the only time it backfired catastrophically was when I was at med school. I couldn't lose, so I bet my entire grant on Roy Jones Jnr to beat Montell Griffin and before you could say, hitting a man while he's down, I was completely skint.

Jewish, med school, not funny.

I haven’t see a great deal or media/press for it.

Just hope he puts it on the Ukrainian for 4 rounds and see what he can land.

Think i said it before but surely they have Dubois *empty the tank* early doors and then just throw in the towel when Usyk starts teeing off on him around the mid way point.

Rather you than me, he could get stopped on a cut, or walk into a shot, anything could happen, it's heavyweight boxing, I'd not fancy those odds at all. 4k to win 400 - no chance.

If they fight a hundred times, I'd have DDD winning one. The odds are ten times better than that. Plus, the only good bet is a winning bet. £400 of free money coming my way. I only bet a few times per year, but when I do, I almost always win.

But does he hit harder than Fury?

I was woking in a pub during the World Cup in 2002. There was a bookies across the road.
A bloke came in - he'd bet £10,000 on France to score against Senegal (pretty sure that was the bet -- or some other practically 99.9% odds on thing).
I would not have wanted to have been him later that day, explaining to his wife.
