    Does anyone follow Dubois' socials? Just looking at his latest story he looks a bit out of shape, for Dubois I mean. It could just be my imagination, but it looks like he has a bit of extra fat that he doesn't usually have.

    And this is total speculation on my part, but does anyone know if he has started partying? I just get the feeling that he has taken his foot of the gas a bit since the Joshua win.

    He looks fat from what I saw on instagram. He's definitely taking Parker lightly. He seems like a pretty dumb guy, so I don't doubt he's letting loose a bit with his new fame and wealth. I got a feeling Parker gets the KO.

    It’s not out of shape, he had a bit of fat on him in the Joshua fight where he weighed in at 248 and felt good. When he was fully lean in the Miller fight it was 238 so clearly it’s a weight he’s comfortable with and feels good. He’s not going to be in any sort of unwanted shape as he’s always on the ball all year round.

    Looking at Dubois' instagram again I don't think he is out of shape, I think he is just making a video after just arriving in Saudi or something like that, like he hasn't even warmed up or anything.

    I would be very surprised if Dubois is truly overlooking Parker

    But stranger things have happened.....

    Interesting to hear Andy Lee share parts of their "gameplan" is this legit? Or just mind games. Can anyone recall if his drawing for the Zhang fight was accurate?

    I guess Lee can now share the gameplan

    Because it is far too late for Dubois to adapt.

    I expect Dubois to be a bit of a "charging rhino" in there for the first 2 rounds

    Something Parker will already be prepared for

    If Parker can survive first 6 six rounds without being exhasuted from Dubois' pucnhes. I am pretty sure he can get decision.

    I think Parker will try and keep things mobile and maximize the in and out, smash and grab gameplan he worked against Zhang and Wilder. Can't see any other blueprint for Parker other than bringing Dubois into the deep waters with him and breaking him down. JP is a 12 round fighter and he has some history against durable heavy handed fighters now.

    It is a 50/50 fight but having followed both these guys, I think Parker is more than capable of asking questions of Dubois

    Pretty much my thoughts, too.

    Parker is coming in over 260 lbs

    I think at some point he may go for the KO
