    He’s going to come with everything in the toolbox this time, headbutts, nutshots, flying headers maybe sprinkle in some leg kicks to add some drizzle. So anything can happen. A supposedly minor cut from an ‘accidental’ head clash can make a fight one sided. I won’t write off Dan winning so easily.

    I think the recipe is ripe for an upset here. Going to go Dubios by KO.

    I don't see it. Usyk isn't going to stand and trade like Miller, Hrgo and Joshua.

    only way Dubois wins is if he headbutts and injures Usyk and ref allows him to get away with it.

    Father time waits for no man, he's 38 and has recently ballooned. Dubois is on the up and has shown improvement.

    Is Dan going to wet his knickers the day before this one? Definitely the fight nobody outside of Britain is asking for. I won't be bothering with PPV this time.

    … What the **** are you talking about? Lol :lol::lol::lol: I’m mocking the UK media who have said that about him (Which is why that was in quotations) and he 100% does put on a nice guy act until he can’t stand doing it anymore and slips up. I knew it was just a matter of time.

    The funny part is Usyk said he doesn't care. He said the fight is the fight, and this is all show.

    I'm not being sarcastic. Usyk is already considered to be a top 10 heavyweight of all time.

    This version of Dubois is not operating on the same level as other fighters. Dominic Ingle spoke on Dubois’ victory over Joshua, he said Dubois was on the spectrum in his rationale as to why Dubois didn’t crumble under the spotlight. It’s a pretty insulting statement but there is probably some truth to it in terms of he's not what you consider to be a regular heavyweight champion.

    Not just decisions but brutal three KO victories in a row over quality opposition. The three KO victories over Miller, Hrgovic and Joshua are absolutely legendary.

    I consider this version of Dubois under Don Charles to be this generation of heavyweight boxing’s prodigal son, he’s on a redemption journey and he’s not being denied.

    I was looking forward to getting this over with so that Usyk could face somebody that WASN'T a past heavyweight opponent from the U.K.

    Alas, it sounds like a third Fury match that nobody (except Tyson Fury) wanted could be on deck. :ohno

    So, worse cast scenario, Dubois wins and then we're locked into a trilogy with him, or - hooray - we get to wait nine months for Usyk to return to Wembley next April for Fury III, instead of moving on to a new challenger. Oh joy. :rolleyes:
