    For the vacant British Heavyweight Title

    Interesting fight, the Dubois train has slowed in recent fights while Joyce has picked up the pace

    At this stage I’d very slightly favour Joyce but it’ll be explosive either way

    Now this is what I'm talking about. Hope it's not too good to be true a lot at risk here.

    I highly doubt this fight will happen. Too far a step up for Dubois. Joyce would demolish him.

    This fight does not make sense for either man.

    I favor Joyce, and suspect Dubois is too green / doesn't have the chin to last.

    It would not surprise me if it went the other way. Dubois can hit, and Joyce is slower with an open defense.

    Prediction: Joyce TKO Dubois in 5.

    I don't believe Dubois/Joyce will happen. For both fighters, it's too much risk, too little reward.

    Dubois absolutely needs to pick up the pace, but this is probably a little bit too much of a step up for him.

    Joyce also needs to raise the stakes for that matter. He's approaching 34 and his best win is Stiverne? He needs to start making stuff happen. With 1.5 years as a pro and his amateur experience, he should be fighting live bodies by this point.

    Nice fight for the fans, but doesnt make sense for the fighters. Joyce needs to get a move on and need to be targeting names and experience. Dubois still learning his trade and is way too green for Joyce right now

    Press conference could get out of control with these two.
