    Doesn’t surprise me at all. He done it with Ruiz and Usyk. I’m looking forward to it.

    What does he do differently this time? Up against a guy as big as himself and with a better jab he looked troubled from minute 1.
    I'd amire he going straight back after DD again but realistically this his him close to being done at the top level.

    Exactly. Dubois will immediately put it on him again and he'll fall to pieces. His only hope is he lands the first big shot in a shootout.

    Completely undeserved and making a mockery of the sport. But to be expected I suppose. The IBF is usually the fairest with their belts so would be funny if they strip Daniel for fighting Joshua again.

    Only won vacant belts and his skillset was never top elite level when he had the belts.

    Falls to pieces anytime he is hit.

    Prediction - another Big Humble Crumble within 4 rounds.

    No problem mate, nature of the modern media that you have to dig deep to realise what's actually been said.

    Definitely understand why Joshua would want to take it. What I struggle with is why Saudi would bankroll it based on their record so far.

    They have been quite consistent so far in offering defeated fighters 'step down' fights - Zhang and Wilder both lost then got put together, likewise Dubois and Hrgovic after wins.

    Logic would suggest Dubois will face Parker, Kabayel or Bakole next, with Joshua facing someone like Hrgovic, maybe even on the same card. Money may well talk though.

    I think wilder got another shot because he's a knockout artist and that never leaves you. Always the potential for entertainment.

    It left him at the end of the Fury 3 fight a full 3 years ago.

    Like Joshua, Wilder will only knock over stiffs such as Helenius and he is completely done.

    Zero interest in watching Washed Up Wilder again but we know Hearn will be pushing for zero risk fighters for Joshua with next to zero resistance.

    Good chance this Wilder v Joshua fight happens as an eliminator for Whyte's Algarve Area Title.

    Who is going to be stupid enough to pay to see Dubois spark him out even quicker than last time.
    Dubois will put it on him from the opening bell and end it very early.
    Joshua will lose this during his ring walk, he will be crapping himself for all to see, and during the intros he will be sweating like a ****ing haemophiliac having a shave!!
