Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk open to a second fight with Daniel Dubois

[Left Hook Louie]

Not needed for a Dubois rematch. Usyk has already cleaned up the entire British Cruiserweight and Heavyweight divisions.

1. Tony Bellew
2. Dereck Chisora
3. Anthony Joshua
4. Anthony Joshua
5. Daniel Dubois
6. Tyson Fury
7. Tyson Fury

The only other in-form contender right now is Joseph Parker and he has a fairly good chance against Dubois. If Parker wins, Usyk vs Parker will be exciting. Otherwise, he may want to go back to Cruiserweight and win that title again before retiring. Dubois is younger and hits hard. Usyk has already shown he can take Dubois' legal shots and outbox him to win but it may take a physical toll on his health which he doesn't need right now at this age.

Yep, the Brits hire Eastern Europeans for housecleaning services.
Usyk fulfilled his end of the contracts with style and mopped the English floor with all them wankers.
Now to do the same for a certain Chinese giant, German Turk, and scary Congolese dude.

I guess the winner of DuBois-Parker makes sense. But there is a part of me that does not want Usyk to do that as he should still be undisputed and I see no reason to reward the IBF with a big sanctioning fee for stripping the rightful and active champion.

Eh him or opetia, don’t see anyone else giving him a proper challenge tbh. Parker doesnt have enough pop to really hurt usyk, same problem fury had.

[Toffee]

Dubois the only worthwhile fight for me.

Dubois can apply pressure, may have improved his confidence, and that 'low blow' is still a bit controversial. And of course it would be for double undisputed. I can see the appeal for Usyk.

I think Parker is a real chance v Dubois, but I wouldn't give him a hope against Usyk. He's a big boxer - he's not outboxing Usyk.

Bakoke, do me a favour.

Dubois will lose to Parker.

Hard to see that happening as much as Parker has got his career back on track. He does everything well but his lack of pop will always be his Achilles heel. Dubois is on roll beating big hard hitting guys. His confidence is sky high, can't see him not blasting Parker out of there.

[Lance98]

Usyk should fight him again and try to beat him again with no controversy. Dubois should have ko'ed usyk to the body in their last fight.

Frank Warren wants his belts back. He is pushing Triple D to push for this rematch against Usyk.

[Oregonian]

Usyk should fight him again and try to beat him again with no controversy. Dubois should have ko'ed usyk to the body in their last fight.

Should have or could have it would have is meaningless - Dubois got KO’d. Period.

“Try to beat him with no controversy”? How? 99% of boxing controversies are created by judges, ref Ms and promoters.

Usyk beat Dubois. Period. If it’s a question of unifying all the belts, then it makes sense but a rematch over a guy he KO’d is nonsense

[VislorTurlough]

Dubois should beat Parker. But hard to forget the Lerena fight where a cruiserweight dropped him. That chin check can show up at any moment.

[Roberto Vasquez]

Dubois will lose to Parker.

I think it will def be close. I think Dubois's stock has gone too high based on a win over a weak-jawed AJ who totally froze on the night. Hrgovic and Big Baby were good wins but both are easy to hit.

Having said that Usyk can def be stopped - he is a small guy and Dubois does have the power. If Usyk hangs around the HW's long enough he will get stopped at some point + he is getting older
