    Well I’d back Huni to box the ears off Okolie. On that basis I think Lerena can win given he gave Huni some issues, especially late in their fight.

    Yes, I know styles make fights but Lerena is a bit better than often given credit for. And Okolie is just a bit overrated in my opinion.

    Itauma probably wins by KO, won't be as shocked as some on here if Whyte gets a KO win, though.

    Sirenko by decision, UD wouldn't be a surprise.

    Hrgovic will beat Adeleye... KO or decision just depends on how good Adeleyes chin is - neither would surprise me.

    Okolipuss is as dirty as they come, I think he'll win here with referee deliberately ignoring the hugfest.

    Usyk should still beat Dubois - DDD will turn up to foul deliberately (again) and it's unlikely a referee will be as honest as last time... But Usyk will be prepared for it and he'll get the job done - probably by TKO as Dubois gets confused and knackered by the pace Usyk cranks up and quits.

    I hope so - but it's a lot to overcome, especially since he's age 38 now, and Dubois will very likely be on top quality PEDs.

    Absolutely, it's a stiff test - Usyks ring IQ is so far beyond that it should hopefully be enough, but we'll see!

    My predictions for these upcoming heavyweight fights:

    • Itauma vs. Whyte: I think Itauma will take this one, possibly by knockout. He’s younger, hungry, and has a style that could overwhelm Whyte.

    • Sirenko vs. Dacres: Sirenko’s power and technique give him the edge. Expect him to win, maybe by stoppage.

    • Hrgović vs. Adeleye: Hrgović is the favorite here. His experience and skills should carry him to a decision win.

    • Okolie vs. Lerena: Okolie’s size and reach advantage could be decisive. I see him winning, possibly by KO.

    • Usyk vs. Dubois: Usyk is the more skilled and experienced fighter, so he’s favored. But Dubois’ power can’t be underestimated — it’ll be a tough fight. I expect Usyk to win, but it won’t be easy.
    These fights have real potential to shake up the heavyweight division. Can’t wait to see how they play out!

    Usyk and Innoue are the two toughest guys in the sport.

    When it comes to Usyk, always keep the faith. The man is a Boxing God,:deal:

    Couldn't get anymore than this!! You pretty much called it to a T, Dubois tried to stick it on him in the 5th and Usyk flattened him lol.. Great break down brother
