    I think his mentality is totally different now and that's essentially what is facilitating the optimal operationalisation of his skills. Couldn't put it together before in the same way because he wasn't right upstairs. The fact he was getting hit so much by Hrgovic actually goes in his favour, in my opinion. He was getting peppered and he still came through it all and was smiling at the end of it like a little boy. He is a man who is very happy in life and he feels like he is unbeatable.

    The biggest difference here is that Usyk is much harder to hit than Miller, Hrgovic, and Joshua, who are all easy to hit. How will Dubois feel while being hit and not getting off his punches in the same way?

    I have heard that Dubois has been with some woman for a while now - probably an absolute gold digger - but she has probably contributed to his boost in self-efficacy. Everything is coming together in this young man's life and he will prat the Ukranian on Saturday, I reckon. He was robbed out of it the first time and he will not be denied.

    If Usyk wins then what else can be said except the bloke is a great boxer. There is nothing to dislike about him, especially now that bellend Krassyuk is gone.

    Hope Frank remembers his pre fight checklist when he awakes in the morning - Sauna and chat with Hearn, Armani Suit, DAZN UK Tie, Brown Dye for Tongue as Turkey in Town and the Tony Thompson wheelchair for DDD's young lady should he win.

    To me For DDD to win he will have to put on a tremendous Michael Watson type performance like in the 2nd Eubank fight, he will have to go after Usyk and keep him under pressure from the off. Just keep at him and not gas out.

    If he can do this for as long as it takes remains to be seen. I think he can. But again would never surprised if Usyk finds a way to win
