    War Dubois!

    Crack him with a low blow round 1 to unsettle him then unleash hell.

    I like Dubois but been backing my man Usyk for years and won’t be changing now.

    Usyk the ultimate road warrior.

    It's going to be 10 months since Dubois was last in the ring. Returning from an injury and that length of time out the ring, this is a big ask, I'm surprised he hasn't taken another fight beforehand but fair play.

    I think Usyk will win but just imagine if Dubois knocks him out and then knocks out Tyson Fury next year. He has a chance of potentially beating the three of Joshua, Usyk and Fury (Fury would definitely take that fight IMO if it was on offer).

    I’m a big Usyk fan but all aboard the DDD express for this one.

    I'd like to go but hate stadium fights as any decent view is a small fortune.

    Tempted though as I want to see Usyk.

    Usyk wins again.

    Parker needs to be on the undercard in case Dubois gets "sick" again.

    Usyk should be fighting Parker. Can't see Dubois beating him. The movement is all wrong for the guy. Think Parker moves pretty well, or should I say "is very active" so would be a good bout.

    I agree but Usyk is 38. I know HWs are more suited to aging in boxing because they don’t need to kill themselves to make weight but Usyk’s style is dependent on non stop head and lateral movement and at some point it will catch up on him.

    Theres always a small question mark when you put an elite aging fighter in with a good puncher in Dubois who is improving every fight.

    Parker is not as active as you think. He's a good boxer-puncher type with a mostly serviceable chin, but he picks his shots.

    This line of thinking has always been bizarre to me. I’m supposed to support someone not based on their skills, personality etc, but because they were born within a few hundred miles of me?

    I’ll support Usyk in the same way I supported whoever Andy Murray’s opponent was!

    I wonder if Parker will be on the undercard.

    His manager reportedly said he's fighting in July.

    Shame the focus and selling point is on the low blow but I guess trying to sell Usyk against an opponent he absolutely schooled last time would be a stretch. Would much rather have seen Usyk v Parker but his hands are tied with his motivation being an historic ‘Thee time undisputed champion’ in the four belt era. Hopefully Parker fights on the undercard with the winner finally giving him his shot.

    Trust Dubois to give the most pathetic shove ever seen in a face off
