    Dubois number 3 in latest WBO rankings. Frank Warren we applaud you :ARMS1::ARMS1:

    He's got Sunny Edwards up to 4th with the WBO too. Incidentally, Patrick Ward, 25 years old and 29-0, is number 1 ranked with the WBO at Super Bantamweight.

    Usyk v Dubois would be hilarious

    absolutely ridiculous.

    he’s jumped ahead of Kownacki then? Now I’m not saying him or his wins are great but he’s got named and rank opponents on his CV. Last 3 being Martin, Washington and Arreola.

    Ruiz who’s last just been world champion, Chisora who’s win over Szpilka usurps anything Dubois has done. Even his win over Price does! Hunter’s record is better too. That’s all without scratching the surface.

    I notice Fury has been completely removed too.

    Dubois would spark Usyk.

    Bold statement considering neither guy has done anything at HW.

    Mike Coppinger (American journo) reporting that Joyce has signed his end of the deal for the Dubois fight and is now waiting on Dubois to do likewise.

    The EBU have also ordered Joyce vs Hrgovic to fight for their title. Two good fights, I'd be happy with either, but personally would prefer it to be Joyce vs Dubois.

    Defeat would be a great learning experience for Dubois but for Joyce at his age it’s a huge risk

    I think Frank needs a big fight for BT- I’m expecting Dubois v Joyce to get confirmed.

    Can anybody pick a winner between Joyce and Dubois with any confidence? I certainly can't! It's a belter of a fight, it really is. I really hope it gets made and I actually think it will, as somebody already said Warren needs to deliver BT a big fight and this one is perfect. Gun to my head, I'm picking Dubois but it's no more than a guess.
