    Be a good chief support. Wasn’t keen on it as a headliner.

    I like Dubois but Joshua would win that quote handily imo

    I'm sure it's no more than a membership fee to get in, and promise of some sanction fees if he did fight there. Fair to say Whyte won't go down the WBC route again by choice!

    Why not? They offered him multiple eliminators, let him dictate who he fought in the them , Rivas rather than Ortiz, and even sanctioned an immediate rematch for his number 1 ranking after getting KOd. Not many bodies would do that

    Playing devils advocate but many a truth and all that

    One punch is all it takes for Tony Dosh PPV to be drained of energy, heart and desire.

    If Baby Blobby can hurt him, then big DDD will finish his career once he lands.

    Dubois will flatten Whyte with relative ease.

    Dillian only takes this fight for a big purse if/when he has come to terms with being in gatekeeper mode and wanting a few final pay days before he retires from the sport. He is nowhere near as tough as Chisora, he is nearly as crude but they should not be compared as Dillian even in his younger years just did not have the chin or durability and now he is close to shot after another bad knockout.

    I thought his performance against Fury was awful, far much worse than most of us would have expected.

    Dubois is a better boxer (has much better balance and fundamentals) is younger, fresher, hungrier, and a much bigger puncher.

    I think he knocks Dillian out round 5-7. Would not be surprised if it is far earlier as say what you want about Dubois but he has world class power and is a explosive puncher who can take someone out at any time. People seem to forget this just because of the Joyce fight but Joe has a freakishly good chin!

    I’d actually prefer to see Dubois vs h fury next. Whyte should get some rounds in before a fight with Dubois but if it still happens I don’t mind but it’s a tough return fight imo. If whyte wins then the aj rematch is there but the timing isn’t right.

    I have a feeling both the Parker vs Joyce and ortiz vs ruiz fights will be boring and close so nobody will want to entertain those winners

    I seriously hope Taylor vs Catterall doesn't coincide with Dubois vs Whyte.

    It looks like Frank Warren once again is presenting a quality card.

    Arum said they were planning 26th November. It seems nobody in boxing owns a calendar.

    If Uncle Frank can get Buatsi v Pascal as chief support to Dubois v Whyte then it’s a very good card.

    Completely agree. After a few years where the quality has been mixed at Frank Warren's events, he is back on the big stage here in 2022.

    To be fair, Frank has put some right sh1te on in 2022, who can forget the Fury Whyte undercard. No promoter has the amount of drop outs that he has. Also, why would Buatsi be on this bill. He’s one fight left with Hearn and when/if he moves on he goes to Sky not BT.

    Decent match up in fairness to Frank.

    Frank is putting on Buatsi vs Pascal in the UK. Lou DiBella won the purse bid and is working with Frank to put the show on in the UK.

    I think Dubois has shown he can bang, take a dig quite well and has powerful fast hands with punch variety. Most importantly in that variety is an uppercut.

    Say what you want about Warren but he seems to get on well with every American promoter unlike Hearn who they all hate.
