    Joshua will likely win but Dubois is highly motivated, extremely dangerous, and a very live underdog.

    I'm fine with this and I think it'll be entertaining for as long as it lasts. Dubois is gonna be competitive against AJ but his lack of head movement is gonna get him KO'd by AJ unfortunately. If he manages to eat AJ's punches like he did against Hrgovic and stays on his feet I'll be very shocked.

    A very decent all Brit match up.

    I'm leaning towards AJ but both fighter's tales are up ATM despite both being Usyk victims ;). A risky fight for both.


    Looking forward to it should it definitely happen.

    AJ is a far more cultured boxer, he will gradually break down Dubois behind his jab IMO. Though TBF to Dubois it seems like the win against Miller has woken up something in him, and mentally he seems like a much stronger fighter; there is every chance he could walk AJ down like he did against Hrgovic, then who knows what will happen.

    Hrgo throws arm punches, Usyk doesn't. Ask Fury about Usyks power; if he answers truthfully that is.

    Heavy defeats what bull he lost to Ruiz it's Heavyweight boxing can happen at any time he took the rematch straight away when a lot of people said it was a mistake to do so and boxed Ruiz ears off.

    His only other defeats was Usky who was his mandatory are you saying he was to inexperienced to fight Usky?
    Should he of took a leaf out of Wilders book and fought the worst possible fighters available and take no risks to keep his title?

    Usyk wasn't AJ's mandatory.
    When AJ saw Usyk struggling against Chisora, he thought Usyk was a piece of cake. That's what I mean by inexperience.

    Usyk wasn't AJ's mandatory except he was his mandatory and he did not struggle at all with Chisora you need to watch the fight again if you think he did

    But I do think AJ was nieve thinking he could outbox Usky that was never going to get him the win but say AJ only took on certain fight because he was too inexperienced to know any better is pure bull and if all fighter took on The challenges AJ did boxing would be in a far better place fighter are to worried about that 0 to test themselves sure you might get beat if you fight the best but you will never be great if you dont

    It’s not a bad fight, dubious deserves his shot at AJ.

    I find it strange that dubious got dropped twice by lerena but took hrgovic bombs no problem

    Joshua is the obvious favorite and should stop DuBois but if he cannot hurt him then he may have a mental meltdown and DuBois could win.

    Dubois head always going forward like a ram is a good setup for the incoming upper cut

    It's hard to understand, but I felt Dubois had accumulated a lot of punishment already as well as being tired. Also the jab caught him perfectly on the point of the chin.

    Joshua will win if he can avoid the dirty Dubois head butts and not be too affected by his low blows.

    I remember Klitschko learned to avoid head butts, after he was badly cut and stunned by a nasty one in round one of his Sanders fight.

    Classic case of who lands first wins.
    Both can take each other out, both have brittle whiskers, if I had to put money on it I would take a punt on Dubois, who looks like he is finally believing in himself and looking good in doing so.
    Dubois in six.
