    Warren claims that Dubois is a fantastic fighter, of course he will claim that because he is his fighter, this means that Joshua vs. Hrgovic will not happen because we all know that Hearn is a greedy liar who will not say no to a fight like this and the whole boxing world will want to see this fight...

    Warren is squeezing every bit of money out of Dubois. It’s actually quite genius.

    I don't. Dubois is next level British hype. He needs to beat a contender level HW who is under 300lb before he moves into elite fight territory. A fight vs Ruiz in 24 would be great.

    Na, put Dubois in with someone like Pulev, Ajagba, or Wallin. Another confidence booster against a top 25 guy before a step up against someone like Kabayel. He’s only 26 after all.

    Good fight. It's the closest we will ever get to seeing a Joshua-Bruno fight. Dubois reminds me of Bruno, but with access to more knowledge in this digital world and of course sports science has come a long way since Bruno boxed. Hell Wenger in the footballing world was seen as a revolutionary back in the late 90s when it came to training methods and nutrition.

    Dubois is 26, Warren doesn't seem interested in protecting him and building him.

    I think because he knows what his limit is.

    Yup one of them and then Ruiz or Whyte later in the year.

    Awful fight if if it happens Dubois probably wouldn't even beat a shot Whyte or even an old as hell Chisora right now. It's a total mismatch.

    Once there was a time Hearn wouldn't of hesitated to put AJ in with Hrgovic but I don't think he has the same confidence in Joshua as before and so this might actually happen and if it does then yeah he deserves all the criticism that comes his way.

    I hope Joshua/Hrgovic gets made it's by far the better fight, that or Joshua/Zhang, those are the best available fights and Joshua's had enough soft touches of late with Franklin, Helenius and Wallin and there's no big money fight with Wilder now, so time to take on the best available again.

    Yep better the cash him out before he loses to some journeymen or gatekeeper. Dubois is not even top 3 in the UK, might not even be top 5 as he's not beaten anyone as good as Chisora or Whyte.

    Dubois arguably beat Usyk depending on your definition of what signifies a low blow.

    I agree. But I also got to admit that his fight against Miller was good stuff.
