    Usyk is 38 next year and Dubois is only 25.

    I think Dubois will KO Usyk. We all saw Usyk was struggling against Chisora.

    Maybe he's ripping off Usyk.

    If I were Usyk, i would sign with Matchroom.

    Lmao, Dubois was almost KOed by the guy in his 30s, Lerena

    Is that a joke?

    The same Dubois who got knocked down then kept diving to his knee every time he saw a punch coming in his last fight?
    And against an unknown fighter?

    Dubois has a big punch but zero heart

    Usyk is gonna have to really fall off a monumental cliff for that. Dubois was getting bounced around by (checks name) Kevin Lerena until Lerena inexplicably decided to stop pressing.

    You're right age isn't on his side though.

    What a pity the corrupt WBA are wasting the aging Usyk's time with this pointless fight.

    Since this should be so easy for Usyk the fight strapline should be "The Stroll at the Pole"

    Dubois is a weird case - inexperienced, he did good against younger Joyce, but shamefully bad against Lerena. That's why it's the activity that makes the fighter, as many surprises are seen in the sport, not the belts.

    Maybe Dubois was on a bad day, or he took Lerena very lightly. He probably learned his lesson and will be more disciplined from then on.

    I actually don't hate this fight.

    Easy win for Usyk but it'll be nice to see the worlds best heavyweight in action and Dubois hits hard enough to have a punchers chance.

    The Lerena fight was really weird. Something felt off about it.

    Usyk wants it . He prefers a hypocritical win against dubois over a heroic loss against wilder.

    Isn't Krassyuk based out of Poland at the moment. Also, over 1.5m Ukrainian refugees are in Poland, so perhaps the angle is one of raising spirits.
