    Lerana references 'the warriors code'. Is there something we could be missing here?

    I'm having a lay of Dubois at 1.1 with a view to cashing out later on in the fight in the hope that Lerana shows that he adheres to the code.

    I'll be honest, I've seen nothing of Lerena but noticed he does have a some good wins in the last few years.

    That being said DDD will be too big too strong too powerful for him and can see him with another early stoppage.

    Can’t see anything from Lerana to suggest anything other than Dubois blows him out of the water early.

    No idea, it's been a while since I last posted.

    If you're referring to Dubois Joyce, Joyce was arguably the bigger and stronger of the two.

    If you're referring to AJ Usyk then it's a fair point to make but not when you take into account Usyk's amateur experience and pedigree.

    Claiming that Joshua will win because he's "too big, too strong" etc. like forum experts here were spamming the board with, is never a fair point, considering Joshua was battered by a man much smaller than Usyk a couple of years prior to their first bout.

    Lerena is a skilled cruiserweight at european level, but he is too small and cannot take Dubois' punching power.

    Easy fight for Dubois.

    Hope you are right but remember Dan does not like to be punched and this guy comes with ambition.

    Short, stocky powerhouse punches upwards notable wins against Dinu, Seferi, Wach. Shades of Mike Tyson.

    I like Lerana. Decent record, only loss was quite early in his career. He speaks well too. The only issue I have is he competed at cruiserweight, whereas Dubois is a fully fledged heavyweight. But he looks big enough, so who knows? Maybe a potential upset.

    I’m expecting Larena to make this a fairly tricky nights work for Dubois, given this stature and southpaw stance.
