"...after Dubois returned on Wednesday morning from a holiday in Brazil to learn that Oleksandr Usyk had vacated it and that he had therefore been elevated to the status of full champion"
Wait, what?
I get that the IBF stripped Usyk, but that SHOULD mean the title is vacant. They just gift it to DuBois? Why not make it interesting and have Joshua and DuBois fight for the title?
I frickin hate the business end of this shady sport.
DDD was elevated to Champion posthumously. Its been done before. These titles, man.
Should be a great fight though. Hard to believe that Dubois is only 26.
Might be another 20+ years before we see a "Unified" Heavyweight Champion again, however; so keep your eyes on who the LINIAL Heavyweight Boxing Champion is.
Too many fans here had taken their eyes off that during the frustrating Fury era.
An insult to compare Ali's 3 time heavyweight champion status, to Joshua's potential 3 time heavyweight Belt holder status
3 paper belts at that & if Aj wins it'll still only be 2.
He isn't 2 times if it was only pre fight rematchroom clause half time against Ruiz.
Did Ali have pre fight rematch clauses?
