    Perhaps his chances of entering the brown ring of Samantha Fox closer to reality

    We have the WBC antics in the Fury vs Whyte mandatory splits to thank for this.

    If I was Dubois I’d be staying well clear. Shane McGuigan is a clever bloke, hopefully he advises him on this. I know Martin Bowers is his ‘manager’ but I think that was more sentimental after giving him the shove as trainer.

    Makes sense. Over inflated bid with his own fighter guaranteed x amount. Sounds familiar.

    The Champ only getting 55% will be because QP paid sanctioning fees for Dubois to fight for one of WBAs 27 variations of the world title. I genuinely cannot remember which one.

    Then a week after winning the belt they canned the belt they had just paid for.

    So I am guessing it is almost like some warped unification.

    Dubois isn't exactly any more proven mind... The paper title aside, it's not the worst fight for him.

    The potential delay on the other hand is not good for his development.

    Dubois should be on the Wembley card raising his profile and building back his confidence, not waiting on the sidelines for a court hearing

    Btw isnt King right here with the split?

    Technically speaking he should win in court bar not knowing some behind the scenes stuff.

    The issue is, I think Dubois's "title" was for the belt Usyk has.

    So it is a higher ranking belt than the WBA Reg belt. So isn't like a normal challenger. Whole thing is a total mess
