    I don't think there will be any rematch, as there was no rematch for Dubois vs Lerena despite Dubois being dropped 3 times in one round.

    So where does Dubois go from here?

    * Rematch with Joe Joyce?

    * Try to land a bout with someone like Joshua or Wilder?

    * Fury?

    * Rebuilding fight?

    At this point in his career, I don't know if he'll become more than what he is. But he still has a lot to offer, I think.

    I'd like to see him maybe restore his confidence a bit. He seemed pretty dejected at the end of the bout tonight, because he was outclassed and he just wore out.

    But no other heavyweight can fight like Usyk does, and Usyk's days are numbered.

    I hope Dubois puts himself into position to come back strong and fight for the title again some day. I like him.

    You know, that might not be a horrible idea actually.

    Good call.

    I think he can legit compete for the title. Just not against someone like Usyk.

    He might try to get vocal, or his mouthpiece will, about a Usyk rematch. Of course he would/will get stopped again.

    Recovery fight, possibly picks up a belt when Usyk vacates. Likely ends up being a guy who just keeps it warm for a real upcoming talent, doubt his promoters will be willing to make favorable matchups for him to hold a belt hostage.

    He might be able to beat someone like Whyte or Parker at this point.

    Dubois will hope to get the rematch and that will be his Teams priority but if this does not happen then it’s back to fighting top 15 guys looking to get another shot at the belts .

    They would be two interesting match ups for Dubois,Whytes probably out for some time but I think Parker would certainly take the fight .

    I'd love to see Dubois-Whyte. Whyte needs to get it together.
