    The lad is 27 of course he shouldn't retire.

    Exactly.

    Thinking he might even consider retiring is pretty ridiculous...

    He's one of only 2, possibly 3, proper contenders under 35 - and he's easily the youngest of those at 27 (where Parker and Kabayel are 33 and 32).

    Once Usyk retires he'll be right in the mix for belts... It'd be mad to retire.

    Knee injuries, eye injury, several though and punishing fights. IMO he should think about an early retirement for sure, but not anytime soon as he is still rather young.

    He should not retire. He's only age 27, strong and healthy, and there are many interesting matchups that could be made:

    Dubois-Bakole
    Dubois-Wardley
    Dubois-Anderson
    Dubois-Zhang
    Dubois-Kabayel
    Dubois-Joshua II

    He obviously shouldn't retire. He has a 'chin', but obvious knockout power. The HW division is over analysed in this respect. If he was at a lower weight, he'd be a proper exciting 'what if' fighter
