    Pretty much confirmed to take place in December. Not sure why they have to wait 6 months though..

    I really can't get excited for the heavyweights for some reason. Not even for this rematch.

    I'm definitely more excited for the rematch as I had zero interest in fight 1 and expected a boring dud and it was actually a fun fight

    So the IBF have stripped their champion because he won't fight a mandatory against a bloke he brayed already but will instead sanction a 'title' fight between said bloke and their next highest ranked fighter, who the stripped champ has beaten already, too. Twice.

    Farcical.

    I don't like stripping Usyk of the title to give it to Dubois, it feels cheap and pointless.

    However, Joshua vs Dubois is an excellent fight IMO, and if this is what it took to get it over the line then it's not the worst decision. Especially given that now Usyk already won undisputed, it's not as bad as if it was before the Fury fight.

    I really hope Usyk puts a 10 count on Fury next time. Just ends the chapter.

    I think Joshua might put Dubois down and keep him down.

    I too pick Joshua. But then again, I thought Hrgovic would beat him too.

    The rumour was Dubios got the better of AJ. This was in maybe 2018, so the validity is questionable. I'm not sure Dubois was good enough in 2018 to beat up the then heavyweight champ.

    In a Strange Way, REED Could Actually Fathom It:Jest:...

    Pre-Joyce Dubois, Excited, Eager to Prove Himself, AGGRESSIVE...REED's Also Read Joshua's Sparring was VERY "Light" in the McCracken Days, Bordering on that Weird Ass Anthony Yarde/Tundi Ajaye No Sparring Bullshit...

    So Yeah, REED Could See a Spunky Dubois Having a Good SPARRING Day vs. Joshua...There's SOMETHING There btwn Them, Obviously...That Said, REED Thinks Ben Davidson May Have Cracked Joshua's Code, Somewhat...MENTALLY, Joshua's as Good as he's Ever Been, in REED's Opinion..."Stronger" Mentally, Under Davidson...

    While REED Still Can't UNSEE the Ruiz Fight, he Thinks Joshua Does Dubois in Ngannou Fashion...Swift and Rather Early...

    Dubious isn't very good. Joshua stops him.

    Yeah, he's shit. As long as AJ is focused he'll waste that bum.

    ddDubious isnt very good but he sure did come much closer to defeating Usyk in their fight. Hurting Usyk more than Joshua managed in 24 rounds

    Simply put they're both Black British Londoners in the same division at the same time in the exact same condition, looking for redemption and staring across the landscape, domestically and internationally, and seeing only each other .

    Two fairly large fish in a shrinking pond with only so much oxygen left to go around.

    Any historical molehill becomes a massive media mountain in those conditions.
