    DDD all day

    I find his simple man child mentality quite endearing

    Modern day Bruno

    It would be nice to see Dubois crumple AJ with that incredible shot he landed on Usyk but, really I don’t have a dog in the race
    Just want to see them both get punched in the face tbh!

    That’s exactly my thinking. No favouritism per se for either guy but I would like to see Joshua vs Fury down the track.

    Joshua - I always liked the way he approached boxing as a champion, taking on the best available opposition. I also like his style in the ring. Dubois on the other hand is kind of a dirty fighter. But I wouldn't mind if DDD won. I always like when the underdog wins just to see how the divisional picture looks like after.

    I'm rooting for Big Dan. He's grown on me over the years. He's like the modern day Vitali, was called a quitter but has started to redeem himself.

    Not a fan of either but I think Joshua is a better H2H fighter hence it's more interesting with him in bigger fights to come. I also think Joshua is better fighter to watch overall in terms of entertainment value and his overall skillset.

    So I'll be rooting for Joshua.

    Can't wait for this one. I was really bashing Dubois after his losses to Joyce and his apparent quit against Usyk.

    But he's won me over with this last two fights. He's just fighting, not being as robotic. And he's become a really fun fighter to watch.

    As long as he's put the quitting behind him, I'll root for him.

    Joshua is Joshua. He could end this early. Or he could cave, too. I'm sure he'll have a rematch clause if he does.

    Two flawed but entertaining guys in a great atmosphere. Anything could happen.

    That's all we can ask for. :)

    AJ because I want to see him fight Fury.

    I just find Dubois annoying. Like, if he was world champion, how would he sell fights. The man has no charisma, very little intelligence from what I can see when listening to him. Just a bore.

    His revival in the last 12 months has impressed me though.

    AJ, but only because I want to see him have a show down with Fury. Otherwise I don't care. Overall I care more about the best man winning.

    I just seen that, wouldn't surprise me in the least if he is dirty.

    I agree. He doesn't seem too bright. His revival has impressed me, too.

    But I'd like to see Fury-Joshua.

    That said, I hope the fight happens and I hope it's a slugfest. Dubois-Miller and Dubois-Hrgovic were a lot of fun.

    Usyk is wishing Joshua to win, to get a huge paycheck for a 3rd AJ fight, that's why he abandoned the IBF title.

    I'm rooting for the fans. That place will be wild. Fight has potential for a highlight reel KO on either side, so I'm also rooting for the Under.
