    The three potential outcomes are:

    Dubois is beaten easily- situation remains as it is.
    Dubois loses close decision- Dubois's reputation goes up.
    Dubois clips Usyk and wins- Frank has another champ.

    As someone stated earlier it's far more likely Usyk and the Saudis want out of this and I wouldn't blame them.

    He’s below that level. Takem has had a win this year that Dubios will never equal.

    Usyk can't out of this, cause they will strip him. This ain't WBC corruption that will do anything to defend their fraud champions.
    And Usyk doesn't need to back out from this.

    We hear nothing even from the fighters. This is a weird situation. I hope to see that fight though.

    I think everybody knows that there is not much to advertise this weak sparring session so better to say nothing i guess.

    This will be the most boring fight in the last years .

    We'll see. Your faith in the human nature of everyone who isn't called Fury or Warren is touching. Brought a tear to my eye.

    It`s not a big heavyweight fight, Dubois is wildly out of his depth.

    Perhaps he is but when 2 of the top 15 face off each other, it's a big fight.

    I didn't realize it was official? An underwhelming mismatch. And anything involving Warren these days is worthy of cynicism.

    Wba never forced usyk to fight dubois only or loose his belts . so he had any opportunity for a honorable fight against wilder instead of this joke .
