Dubois and Ajagba were contenders but who never developed in the same way as an elite boxer does. While Dubois did a lot better than Ajagba, he loses to all elite boxers because his footwork, fluidity, and upper body movement are not where they should be for a champion. He is still quite stiff and mechanical and closer to where AJ was around 2018.

I think AJ blasts him early with no fuss.
AJ has every advantage and DDD is made for AJ to look a monster against - Slab footed, wide guard, no head movement. He is open for everything down the centre. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was similar to the Ngannou fight.
I hope I am wrong but I think its secretly a mismatchdan_cov likes this.

I think its pretty clear to everyone that AJ is not quite the cream of the crop, we've known it for years, but hes certainly no hype job either, and most things point towards him being better than Dubois by a clear margin.

Agree. It's insane. He's one of the best in the division and has been for a decade. Regardless of what happens in that fight, calling him a 'hype job' is just an objectively poor opinion.
That said, I've always liked Dubois and I see a fighter getting pretty comfortable with himself. He's not smart, he's not silky, he's a bit goofy, but he can really smash out a damaging jab and he can finish anyone with the right. He's a fun fighter to watch.
Should a very entertaining fight. My money is on Joshua as the faster, better boxer and more experienced fighter at the top level but there's no sleeping on Dubois' chances for me.
