    Probably stick Tommy Fury on the undercard and Joe Maphosa v Harvey Horn for WBO European

    Don't think Joyce is "awkward" per se. Very open and hittable but very strong and relentless. We will learn a lot about each man.

    What a fight.

    The main unanswered questions on Dubois are his chin and his stamina. We saw him do 10 rounds against Johnson but this will be different. Joyce will be punching him back for a start. But as long as Dubois isn't hiding a glass chin and his gas tank is good then I think he'll beat Joyce. Not overly confident on that though because the stamina could be a factor considering how muscular he is. But I'm picking Dubois.

    Dubois has taken a few shots and if anything it just pissed him off. Granted it wasn't against huge punches but he certainly doesn't have a glass jaw

    Great fight. If Dubois wins this is the next level after this a Chisora standard / type?

    Very good fight. Tempted to go to this. Need to visit my mate in London, and boxing is the one sport my Missus likes.

    Can maybe do Boxing Saturday, and chill out with my pal on Sunday.

    Is there a chance Sunny Edward's fights for the Vacant WBO belt after the holder moved up a weight? Think he is ranked 4 at present

    Great news! Must say I'm pretty shocked it's been made. I thought that they would be kept apart for now. Maybe Joyce is struggling to get any meaningful fights and this will earn him a decent payday, because there isn't much upside for him unless he can destroy Dubois.

    I'd say there could be as he posted this earlier. He has the WBO Croydon belt so he's edging closer......

    Strange I find his brother annoying but quite like Sunny. Would be a good fight for the card

    Yeah me too, I like Sunny, not a big fan of his nothing belt collecting but Frank knows what he's doing with him. Both of them are KO's waiting to happen but I like Sunny.

    Would it be better to buy the tickets now or wait?
