    He always fights the tough fights

    Joyce when Joyce was undefeated, Joshua when Joshua was still viewed as good, undefeated Hrgovic, Miller, Warldey, Usyk 2x

    Dubois, like Holyfield before him, has mastered "The Way Of The Third Fist".

    The all mighty headbutt.

    This ancient art gives you an advantage and allows you to even out, or even gain ground, over time during long, tough fights.

    Truly mystical.

    100% he deserves credit. But I know people who will always view him as a quitter unfortunately.

    I respect him a lot. He'll fight anyone and he bounces back well from a bad defeat.

    Although DD have quit in him he’s incredibly tough when he wants to be, I’m a fan and looking forward to his fights, it’s always filled with drama and a KO!
    DD deserves credit 100%!

    He deserves credit. I just wish they would stop loading the officials in his favour. The Joshua win was very good for him because he did it clean. The Wardley win too.

    Still, fighters got screwed over along the way

    I picked him to beat Hrgovic, Joshua and Wardley. So when it comes to giving him credit, I was ahead of the curve.:sisi1

    Dubois is old school, fight anyone. I reckon he was genuinely ill before Parker or Uncle Frank was pulling strings in his ongoing game of risk and strategy...I expect to see Dubois in a string of entertaining fights, some of which he will win and some he will lose. A refreshing approach. Only time I've picked against him was Joyce. Got Usyk 2 wrong though!!
