    Interesting fight, I'd have to go with Dubois on this one for a stoppage or UD. Joyce has too many flaws to hang with talent like Dubois. Joyce can overpower smaller guys, who are of average speed, and not known punchers.

    But Dubois is a tall, rangy, explosive, heavy handed man who will capitalise on Joyce's slow, plodding, defend through the face style.

    Dubois is too much risk for no reward for Joyce at this stage, who is looking to fast track himself into the European title or a world title shot.

    If this one does happen in the next 12 months, then I would back Dubois to get a late knock out win

    Good fight.

    Unfortunately in Dubois case I think they’ll move him along slowly. He would destroy the majority of the top 20 but I think the argument will be “he’s 20/21 there’s no rush” which is fair enough I suppose. Lonsdale outright maybe?

    Warren didn't want to make Dubois v Gorman, so I'd be very surprised if he puts his two other unbeaten heavyweights against each other!

    I’m not sure the fight makes sense for either right now but would love to see it. When I watched Joyce - Jennings, Joyce’s head was snapped back so easily but a jab and Dubois’ jab looks decent so I reckon he could pull it off.

    That would be the logical thing to do but at the same time, what top British fighters are going to want to fight him? He'd be taking a step backwards in terms of opponents as none of the top British guys will want to fight him and understandably so.

    I think he'll drop it due to lack of competition for the belt and try go down the European route instead.

    No way this would get made - for all his bravado, Jones matches Joyce with very safe matchups.

    Happy to see Joyce-Kabayel instead. Kabayel will be very, very hard work for Joyce.

    I think Kabayel isn’t a bad option for Joyce because he lacks power. He has movement and a chin from what I’ve seen but any power puncher will hurt Joyce, he’ll be able to shake off what Kabayel throws at him.

    Very close fight, hopefully we see it in a few months.

    Joyce, if he even runs his own account, is probably not smart enough to drop a subtle hint with the emoji.

    If it is Dubois v Joyce that will be awesome.

    That’s from his manager’s account mate, Joyce has said nothing on twitter about his next fight. pretty sure it was done deliberately to get people talking.

    I think it’s kabayel.
