    An easy nights work for Usyk. I'd pick mid round stoppage. It certainly beats watching endless delays and no fights at all.

    I only want to see the assassination of Belly Fury the coward by King Usyk

    Despite his vulnerabilities, Dubois is one of the hardest punchers in the division, has a excellent jab which is a heavy as a right hand, is a huge lump and much bigger than Usyk, and he has one of the best trainers and strategists in the sport in his corner so he'll be dangerous. The same applies to Usyk's other mandatories Hrgovic and Joyce too. Both of them hit very hard but Dubois carries more power than either of them.

    Usyk couldn't stop the bodybuilder he won't stop Dubious. Fury will let dubious soften Usyk up a little more so he can be swallowed whole.

    **** fight. Usyk should just drop the belt. The undisputed dream is dead, let it go.

    Dubois isn't that bad a fighter. He's got his flaws, but he's still relatively dangerous.

    It'll be interesting to see how many PPV's this gets.

    I bet no more than 100k. Usyk just isn't a big name.

    We could have had Usyk v Joyce instead, that'd have been bloody brilliant

    He can still take on mandatories tho ?

    I'd like to watch Usyk vs Joyce, Sanchez or Wilder or something

    If he drops the belts other fighters will just fill the void

    I guess i'm most interested in the post-fight ring interview. Usyk is too classy to trash fury, but will he at least call him out, or call out anyone?

    Much better, I would take Dubois over Hrgovic, Zhang to beat Usyk. Joyce, Fury, Wilder, Ruiz would be better but that's about it.

    Fury will never fight the middleweight because he's a duck. Quack quack.

    Dubois is a complete waste of space.
