    People talk about Usyk's physique before every bout.

    Tonight is Daniel Dubois' night and it seems like not many Brits are caring about this. It shows how powerful celebrity is.

    Haha, listen — there’s method to the madness. I’m thinking if Okolie’s on just before the main event, and Usyk ends up watching that while warming up, it could have a proper sedative effect. Like counting sheep. Or popping a Xanax. He might just walk into one half-asleep.

    Beyond that… if (as expected) it all goes south, I’ll take my ban like a man — head high, shoulders back, straight into the archives, wounded by the poisoned blade of emotional investment and betrayed by the cruel hand of hope.

    And truthfully, that’s all I hope for Daniel — that he does himself justice, comes out firing, gives it a real go, and makes it a shootout. Unlike some of Okolie’s opponents… and the octopus himself.

    No, it shows how powerful common sense is.

    Take the ban like a man. Head high, chest puffed out, straight to Billy Graham's internet cafe to sort you out for another ticket.

    Go on, son. Legends never die, mate.

    Where was the common sense when the public got behind Joshua? It was the power of celebrity.

    Well... I'd tried to warn them for years on here that AJ was a glass jawed fraud and they didn't listen. I also warned them a decade ago on here that Usyk would topple both AJ and Fury and they didn't listen. So I agree, the power of celebrity is immense. But Usyk isn't a celebrity in the UK, Dubois is, and it's clearly affecting you.

    Usyk should probably still have enough left in the tank to beat Dubois again, but Dubois is a much younger man who's probably at the peak of his confidence now. With the right gameplan or even just a very well timed body shot (above the belt line this time) he could pull an upset here. I'll still favour Usyk, by competitive decision this time rather than a KO.

    Dubois most certainly is not a celebrity in the UK. Not a chance you could describe him as that. I had similar predictions as you, but only went as far as to say he'd beat Joshua. I think Fury was off the scene at that point.

    What percentage chance do you give Dubois tonight?

    Unfortunately, with the Brit ref and judges on his side, if it goes to the cards, he has a 50% chance of winning by robbery and 20% chance of winning by British stoppage. Although I think Usyk will stop him again and take it out of their hands.

    I wanted Usyk to beat Chisora, AJ, Fury and Dubois once already so won’t be changing sides tonight. I think he’s been a class act inside and outside the ring since day one and would like to see him go out on top with a win tonight and then either Parker or Kabayel. Beyond that, he’s really gambling.

    Even if Dubois were to win tonight, which would be a historically great win by a British fighter, he's never going to be a celebrity.
