    His last fight in 2024 was cruiser...I wouldn't mind at all if he targeted cruiser or bridger. Probably too old, but why not?

    Id bet money that if under some insanely unlikely circumstance that Hearn was looking at Nistor for a comeback opponent for AJ he would be shitting bricks and very quickly reconsider after seeing their amateur fight lmao.

    Don't miss it! I continue to advocate for this guy as one of the most fun brawlers you will see.

    55/45 in favor of Wardley based on his run. But if Dubois has the same form and mindset as he did against Hrgovic and Joshua, he could run over Wardley. Either way, this should be ****ing awesome.

    Not easy to predict, it's close to a 50-50 fight. If the Dubois who fought Joshua and Miller shows up, he probably wins. If the version of Dubois who fought Lerena shows up, he loses.

    This is the kind of heavyweight matchup I want to see - a fight where I don't know beforehand who is going to win. We need more like this one.

    So he should bring the headbutts out again for Wardley?

    I doubt a British ref will allow Dubois to head butt a British boxer.

    In round one in the Joshua fight, the ref warned Dubois against deliberate head butting. He didn't do it afterwards in that fight.

    Now if Dubois was fighting Zhang or Hrgovic again, Fish Eye's referee would allow Dubois to use whatever illegal tactics he wanted.
