    Dubious was his sparring partner for AJ hehe. Dubious knows he can't outbox usyk and he knows usyk cannot just be walked through it still needs some finesse. Dubious hasn't got Fury's clinch game. He has too many blank areas...but can hurt usyk it's just trying to get to him.

    UK trainers arent very good. Don Charles falls into that category.

    If Dubois stayed with Shane McGuigan maybe he would have shown some more levels to his game. With Charles he will stagnate but probably be in a better place mentally as he'll have better chemistry with Charles.

    Good. It's also nice to see that he's planning on imposing his strength to push Usyk back and work the body. I hope they got fast sparring partners and want to see the best version of him. The problem is his slow feet and questionable defense, it's going to be tough catching Usyk and Dub will have to use a lot of energy chasing and missing.

    This will result in Dubois getting turned in circles all night while eating loads of counters. It is the best strategy for him I believe, but I think it will be futile.

    He looks great. I wish I had a body like that. However, he doesn't have Usyk's boxing IQ. Usyk via a wide decision.

    People are clutching at straws (I give DDD about a ~3% chance of winning here). There's a lot of dislike for Usyk here because he fails to stop his HW opponents.

    If it makes them feel better, Usyk has an excellent chance of stopping this one.

    Don't see anything he brings that Joshua didn't although he has youth on his side if not the experience of championship fights. I'm expecting another masterclass from Usyk.

    All I see is Dubois working on power shots. He's going to need more than that against Usyk.

    So do tacks. Does not mean they are going to beat Usyk.

    Joshua's cautious approach removed most of the chance he had to win. If Dubois lets his hands go this will be a more interesting fight.

    Joshua tried all he could in the second fight. Only landed a few.

    Joshua wasn't at all willing to commit or risk getting knocked out. If DDD actually takes a few risks he'll have a chance.
