    Yes i am fine with it. My preference would be Usyk-Paker but if Parker wins tonight, he will need 2-3 months of rest and then a 3 month camp. So the earliest we would be looking at would be early September.

    This way Usyk can fight Dubois in June or July and set up his farewell fight for around Christmas.

    Would i prefer Parker just to Usyk can fight a different style? Sure. But that is neither here nor there. Both Parker and Dubois are worthy challengers and arguing one guy deserves it before another is just grasping at straws.

    As long as the guy getting a title shot is a worthy contender, i am happy.

    Following the money like every other fighter
    I don't hate him for it, but the Messiah complex needs to stop. He will go to the highest bidder like everyone else

    I'm disappointed with this, as he already smashed dubois easily. Pointless rematch. He already is undisputed, doesn't need to reclaim Daniels paper title

    Obviously if Dubois wasn't sick and beat parker, that would be different

    I would just like usyk to fight someone fresh. He isn't going to climb the All time Heavyweight rankings with another rematch.

    In fairness, i don't think he has a choice. He has to fight Dubois if the Saudi's want him to.

    And Dubois has gotten better. While i would prefer Parker or Kabayel for stylistic reasons, i wouldn't call it pointless. The current version of Dubois is a better fighter than what he was. 3 top 10 wins will do wonders for your confidence.

    he was contractually obligated to rematch Joshua. He couldn't get out of it.

    Fury was another contractual obligation.

    So he's prostitute like every other fighter?
    He doesn't need to do squat.

    Floyd is the biggest diva in history according to many, yet his only rematches where against guys who many said he lost to

    I'm sorry, but it's a pointless fight. He will absolutely clown daniel and likely stop him again

    I'd much rather he fight parker or kaybel. Now if he fights one of those next? Then I of course retract my statement, but I'm not excited about him fighting Dubois again and certainly won't be paying for it

    Just my 2 cents

    Yes, exactly
    I can understand Aj and Fury as they were the money men, but this is pointless

    Pacquiao fought marquez 4 times for a reason

    Stupid, pointless rematch which doesn't elevate him. It's just a money racket and proves he's no different than anyone else

    Imagine the s..t bud would get if he avoided tougher fights to fight Spencer again

    I'd much prefer a third Fury fight than another with Dubois. They were competitve

    Pretty clear the Turkey loves two things: British fighters and Muslim fighters. If you're a British Muslim you are in the RIGHT business.

    He wants to see a brit HW champ because he understands that brit/american champs are very good for elevating the sport to the masses.

    Bakole looks like he is about to enter a strongman competition that European guys normally dominate.

    Dubois next is a good fight for Usyk, not as good as if Dubois would have beaten Parker, but better than anything other fight.

    If he finishes his career with Dubois, Parker and Kabayel that will be a quality finish.

    Sad but very very true. I see it everywhere, media everything are all hyping Brit fighters and if their Muslim, even more.
