    Are you counting the minutes for this eagerly anticipated heavyweight showdown?

    Didn’t even know this fight was happening next week. Feel like it hasn’t been promoted at all.

    Dubois is looking real good in camp, he'll make it a good fight against usyk.

    Usyk is fighting next weekend and I'm not excited about it, at all. Kind of sad. I guess I'll toon in, but it's just not an exciting match up.

    I'm going to Poland to see it. This will probably be my last opportunity to see Usyk fights.

    I didn’t know it was this soon either. I mean, boxing promotion is pretty garbage on average, but this fight honestly feels like they’re trying to keep it a secret.

    Tiny fight that is on virtually no one's radar.

    This forum and Twitter are full of boxing fans but I've barely even seen any hardcore fans, let alone casuals, talk about this fight which is happening literally next week.

    Usyk has minuscule commercial value, the only way he get talked about is if he's paired with a big name like Fury or Joshua. Otherwise, crickets.

    You're probably right but I like that Dubois is taking this **** serious.

    Sadly, the dude is a great talent that is pleasing to the eye.
