Usyk v Dubois July 19 Wembley Stadium

I think Usyk should've retired after his last fight and is crazy to fight Dubois again. He's an all time great but will be 38.5yr old for this fight. How much longer can he go on and how much more punishment can his body take?
I feel those 2 hard fights with Fury will have taken a huge amount from him.

Dubois is now in his prime, hits with thunder in both hands and has a piston of a jab. Although he wasn't great at the end of their first meeting, he still gave Usyk a lot of problems that night and he's a far better fighter now. That fight was in Poland so pretty much as close to a home fight as Usyk could've gotten. It'll be a different story in Wembley.
Whether you think it was low blow or not. If that happens in the UK, it's a Dubois KO.

I'm going for the young powerhouse. Dubois by impressive stoppage.

 

Totally agree, its a shame, I hope they don't go down this pathway to sell the fight as neither of them have that type of personality (no bad thing) and it will just come across as fake.

This fight can be sold on what it is, 2 excellent fighters, 1 of which is an all time great for all the heavyweight belts. I'm pleased it's happening in the UK, another big stadium fight and a chance (last one possibly) to see Usyk live. I think it will be a great fight

 

Usyk beats him quicker than last time.

 

Dubois thinks he’s Froch with that shove on Wembley pitch. Like the lad but reaks of Froch’s insecurity. Wouldn’t put it past him to finish this fight the way steel chinned Glen Quagmire Froch finished that fight though. Love Usyk, great fighter, great man but why keep taking these fights!? Eventually he’ll lose and o think that’s a big dent in his legacy.

 

Got a feeling Dubois kos him heavily.

 

Going abroad with the kids for first time since before Covid. Really looking forward to it, was thinking the other day, always gone away in August or June/July in World Cup year and always had some sport to watch, be that Euros, World Cup, Wimbledon, Prem, Olympics. Was thinking jeez got no sport to watch whilst away. This will do nicely!!

 

I can't see it myself. Fair play to Dubois if it does, but Usyk is too good for any HW right now.

 

Agree. Dubois has a puncher's chance but he has to land clean first. Usyk could outbox him for 12 rounds without too much bother.

I really hope Usyk hangs them up after this one though. Treble undisputed and undefeated in the top two weights, would be a feat not matched for a long long time - if ever.

 

Yes, I agree and if I had to put my last fiver on it it would certainly be on him. Just feel with Usyk he’s at the stage where there’s nothing left to prove and many would have called it a day by now. I just think something is bound to happen eventually even if he’s fighting people who he’d beat 9.5 times out of 10 the law of averages especially in heavyweight division suggests something will go wrong eventually.

 

I don't disagree it may catch up with him. But there are a couple of caveats. The first being he seems to have a solid, if not granite chin. And also that I don't think he needs to be anywhere near his quickest or fastest to beat Dubois. Who I definitely think has improved. I don't mind the fight. But would love Usyk to clean out the division before bowing out.

 

Any word of when tickets go on sale?

 

Today I think mate.

 

Really tempted to go, thanks.

 

Will be interesting to see how they price it as I think this struggles to sell out at expensive prices.

 

Just had an email for a package deal same as when i attended Dubois vs AJ, exact same prices
