I'm not so confident. Zhang is getting old. The Queensberry referee will likely allow Dubois to use headbutts like he did against Hrgovic, since Zhang is not a British boxer, so Zhang may be badly cut. Although Usyk is levels better than Dubois, that doesn't mean Dubois isn't a capable, hard-punching heavyweight, as we saw in his Joshua fight. After the referee stopped him from headbutting in round one, he showed he didn't need those dirty tactics to beat Joshua.
Might be right. But stylistically Zhang is all wrong for Dubois. If age doesn't smack him up the side the head I think he'll still win.
The version of Zhang that beat Joyce twice would KO Dubois, but age eventually catches up with everyone.
Bad style matchup for Dubious if Zhang still can go four rounds. If Dubois survived that then he "should" stop Zhang. Odd matchmaking to throw Dubois to a vicious puncher right after being stopped. I guess the risk/reward with Zhang's age was worth it to them.

Looks like neither has made much of an effort to get in shape. That being said, it would be better for the heavyweight division if Kingsley Ibeh wins tomorrow.
