Hrgovic: Dubois won't be able to handle my punches, but if I lose, I won't get another chance.

I feel the same, Joshua/Hrgovic is the more competitive fight and I also don't understand why the IBF would mandate this for the vacant or even interim title when Joshua ranks above Dubois in the IBF rankings.

But I still think it's a decent fight. While I don't rate Dubois very highly, he's dangerous enough to at least ask something of Hrgovic and hopefully he'll finally show us how good he is or isn't.

 

If Usyk beats Fury and decides to continue his career, Hrgovic would be a fresh opponent to unify against and if Dubois beats Hrgovic people would want to see the Usyk v Dubois rematch. A Usyk v AJ trilogy match is not happening.

 

Agree, would add Joseph Parker has been pretty active too.

 

I just wanna see a Hrgovic fight where he doesn't punch like a rabbit...

 

Hrgovic is right. If he loses his career is over. He’s had a hard enough time getting fights, being a Eastern European.

 

Dubois has more name wins/fights than Hrgovic. I'd say they're about even.

 

Yeah Parker had a couple of rebuilding fights then got his big opportunity vs Wilder and has thrived ever since.

Other Heavyweights should take note no good sitting on the sidelines telling other people what you do or don't deserve, just get in the ring keep winning and you'll chance will come.
