    This is an interesting heavyweight matchup coming up in September.

    Who will you be rooting for?

    I'll be rooting for Anthony Joshua, because he's not a dirty fighter like Dubois, who relies heavily on illegal tactics like low blows and head butts. Joshua is better skilled, he wins his fights fairly.

    Dubois and Joshua, a.k.a Dumb and Dumber

    It is good to see another all-British heavyweight title fight at Wembley though

    Not a fan of either but Dubois has exceeded my expectations lately and has had a nice turnaround from losing to Joyce and Usyk. I really like this type of fight for both men. It would be cool to see either man win. Unfortunately, seems like a battle for silver or bronze as Usyk is the man of the division and doesn't lose to either of these two.

    Dubois who I think is a decent guy.
    Not the bodybuilder who is very odd and will also waffle on about being a 3 time world champion despite that being completely meaningless.

    I picked neither...truth is I like Joshua and root for him, but Dubois has really impressed me the way he has stepped it up, and I would be happy for him if he won. So Joshua but I wish both guys well and will be happy for either winner.

    I'm still amazed how Dubois KOed Hrgovic. He was knocked down 3 times by Lerena...

    Always been an AJ fan so I’m backing him. Dubois also has an exciting style and the guy actually improves on his skills so it should be a great scrap.

    PEDs?

    Dubois landed lots of deliberate head butts. Even if they were called "accidental" by the Queensberry referee, it should have gone to the scorecards.

    That's how I saw it. I noted them during the RBR.

    We all used to complain about the favouritism shown towards Wilder, Joshua, and Fury. But it's on another level for Dubois. Fight fixing essentially

    I’m easy with any result as long as we get fireworks, I would probably prefer a Joshua win as that makes the fury fight still seem possible.
    I think the things he’s achieved in boxing are underrated as he’s not a natural boxer or fighter but his commitment and dedication have got him to where he is.
    Dubois has shown he isn’t afraid to fight anyone and has taken fights early that he probably should have, and in the end he will reap the rewards of that, this will be his first time fighting as a champion so let’s see what that brings out of him.
    I can’t see it going the distance there’s to much frailties and to much power in this fight for that to happen.
    I’m looking forward to it

    Both big talents, great guys and role models for the youth. Insightful and respectable. Passion for the sport and good sports, win or lose. Putting on the big shows, creating jobs and taking London from a little backwater to a global cosmopolitan hotspot with swagger. Can't ask for much more.
    But AJ getting KO'd would be very funny, so let's go with that.
