Is it true that Turkyi has lost interest in Dubois?

    This is the second place I heard about the "wow, good luck," comment. Is it possible that Dubois has excommunicated himself?

    The BBBofC pulled him out because they’re foot soldiers of the nanny state and you’re not allowed to fight if you’ve got the sniffles

    I have a suspicion he failed a drug test, And that's why the radio silence is they are waiting on the B sample.

    I share your suspicion, and have since Frank was talking about how he was worried that the flu medicine Dubois was taking might lead to him failing a test.

    Nah I heard a BBBofC rep say they pulled him out because of sickness and they’d be scared of getting sued so I doubt they’re lying

    Lets wait and see , but dubois seems always to be ready for a all of a sudden .

    Suddenly he gets sick , suddenly he fights only usyk , suddenly he goes down from a non event jab ... you know .

    Might be its too much of a sudden for turkyi .

    Time will tell

    It actually does add up if you think about it.

    Missing a fight due to 'injury' is infinitely better for your rep than failing a drugs test.

    Wouldn't make sense to get sued by warren if you say the same thing warren says. Would make much more sense that warren would incentivize them copying his narrative. Why would he sue them for it?

    Not saying any of that is actually the case.

    I’m saying if the BBBofC lied about Dubois’ illness and they’d covered up a failed drugs test then they would get sued to oblivion by anyone Dubois beat and probably investigated by the government so I highly doubt it was fake

    One thing I do believe is that no way Dubois should fight Usyk next.

    These unifications are boring, let’s see them fighting new opponents.

    Parker needs a title shot vs either one.

    Robert Smith did say that and he's head of the BBBC.

    Turki does seem to have a bit of an emporer power, personality trait in relation to what drives him to be involved in boxing.
    He likes to maneuver his pet people around the board and may get upset if someone dares go off grid and plan for themselves.
