    Usyk for me. Only because he didn't lose the IBF in the ring. This is a fake undisputed bout.

    Also, want Usyk to move on and fight some other nationality before he retires

    Usyk. Nothing against Dubois but how can you not like Usyk. He's been great for heavyweight boxing.

    I’m supporting Dubois. As other people have said, a champion retiring undefeated has a detrimental knock on effect for the sport going forward. To have Dubois and then perhaps Itauma in a series of contests against fresher faces would revitalise the division and end the Usyk AJ Fury era. That can only be a good thing.

    Usyk. Nothing against Dubois but I love Usyk. Everything you'd want in a fighter.

    Dubois. Got cheated out of it last time. Disgusting from Usyk and the referee was pathetic.

    100% agree. I like Dubois but as boxing fan more than a Brit I just don't want to see Usyk beaten before he hangs them up. He's one of the few elite boxers who never seems to take anything for granted, especially in decisions where he always looks nervous at the cards.

    Dubois.
    Because he is British, and he will go in the history books as the first four belt undisputed champion from these shores.
    I have absolutely nothing against Usyk, he has had a phenomenal career and has achieved everything every fighter strives to achieve.

    Right behind DDD and hope he pulls it off.

    Rule Britannia and a short clip to remember the destruction of The Humble One

    Great respect for Usyk who is cemented as an ATG regardless of whatever happens in his future fights, however, supporting our man DDD.

    He made the Humble tumble and deserves our support.

    Usyk.

    I like Dubois, and he'll certainly come again if he loses, but Usyk is my favourite current fighter, so I'll be supporting him.
