    It's good that there will be boxing, I'd rather watch this fight than read Fury's and Usyk's verbal war, I won't underestimate Dubois, he dares to fight and dreams of winning like any other opponent of Usyk's, and let's be realistic, everyone would agree to this fight and a chance to be a world champion...

    Not begrudging Dubois his chance but should n't his conqueror,Joe Joyce be getting a title shot ahead of him?

    I tend to agree, but Usyk did already beat him in some quazi pro fight, so may be that played a part in the decision?

    Dubois was in the top ten before he lost to Joyce, so I would say that he is at least a qualified challenger.

    As Arum said, he wants to make Usyk vs Fury after he beats Dubois, at the end of the year.

    I'm okay with it. Obviously I'd prefer a bigger fight but it could be a hell of a lot worse. It's one of my favorite fighters staying active so I'll take it.

    Plus it's another step closer to getting rid of those stupid WBA "Super/Regular" titles and getting back to them having one champion like the others. Sooner we're rid of those the better, I say.

    Which is what Fury will probably do.

    Usyk hash is hands tied though with all them plastic belt garbage. Activity is good though and dealing with another big strong man is good for Usyk.
