Next opponent for Dubois?

Anything top 10 besides usyk

 

should see if he can beat Hrgovic without head butts.

 

Benavidez

 

Not many options really.

No point in fighting Usyk, and Usyk will probably fight Kabayel so thats two top guys ruled out. Fury and AJ have their own plans, so thats also off the table. Not sure if we need to see a rematch with Hrgovic.

Itauma would be the best opponent probably, but it may be soon for Itauma. If not Itauma, will probably have to be a gatekeeper in Zhang, Ajagba, Huni, Bakole...

Wilder might actually be a good option too.

 

Let him expose Itauma’s chin. No more Usyk fights.

 

Kabayel?

 

Dubois has had a long run of hard fights. So i think he's due a relatively easy defence. Then Itauma after.

 

Torrez Jr

 

Given they're both under the same umbrella I think Itauma makes the most sense but I'm not sure Frank will risk him just yet.

 

The punches Fabio dropped Dan with were top of the head/behind the ear, from memory, thats how Lerena hurt him too. I think his chin is solid, some of the between rounds footage of the punches to the chin and face he took showed this. Needs to work on defending those high landing looping punches. His jab is perhaps the most powerful I've seen. Wow. Think Ituama might be the man in around 18 months but Dubois beats any heavyweight not called Usyk right now for me...

If Frank plays his cards right he can have his two pet projects clear out the division and meet in about two years once Usyk has retired for the undisputed...

 

Yeah, I'd agree with you on that considering the limited options on offer.

Looking at the WBO rankings, there are quite a few fighters that might fit the bill. Riakporhe or Anderson for example as they are stablemates. Hysa, and Dacres would be very soft opposition but again easy stablemate fights to make.

 

This.

 

I mean, as much as I wanted Wardley to win, you’ve got to give it to Dubois. Got up from two knockdowns, stayed focused, comprehensively kicked Wardley’s ass.

maybe Ituama? This version of Dubois is dangerous.
