is dubois really sick?

I'd be tempted to joke about Teo having surreptitiously flown over and poisoned everyone, but some of you would actually believe it and start spreading it everywhere as if it were true. SMH. I haven't checked what time the weigh-ins are, so there's still time for Ortiz to give himself rhabdo again trying to make weight...

Parker is to high risk he's fighting a boxer with a chin similar size higher ring IQ, instead of losing or looking like shh just wait the usyk fight out though he will get lopsided by usyk (again)

dubious dubois LOL i dont think hes a dude for the treanches lets put it like that

ill just say this some people get sick and some people get sick wink wink

if hes not truly sick he should be banned from boxing, a disgrace Me thinks turki has bigger fights in mind and those bouts could mess up that money...this sounds like a turki call

No he not dubious more than earned the fury uysk winner and it seems uysk have little fights left for him right now...either he been tapped on the shoulder about a usyk offer or he is making a business decision to possibly ruin it all vs a spoiler like Parker who is hard to look good against I'm inclined to agree with you...the Dubois rematch is the ONLY big fight left for Usyk (and in the Heavyweight division) so I think he deliberately pulled out (with Turki's approval) to avoid a potential banana skin in Parker. Also, Bakole is an equally dangerous opponent and has conveniently been drafted in as a last minute replacement unlike Shakur's one-sided fight against Padley. Madrimov recently did the same thing when he pulled out of the fight against the dangerous Bohachuk in order to fight Ortiz.

So until proven otherwise, the most illogical conspiracy theory is the answer? Logic. Sounds like lunatic right wing logic. No proof either way, so lets just create a conspiracy theory.

until we see evidence, a drs report or something, i dont believe he is sick, i believe he is fit to fight and probably wants to fight, but his people or frank warren, have pulled him out of the fight, we dont know exactly why yet, i could speculate, but i won't right now So until proven otherwise, the most illogical conspiracy theory is the answer?

thats pretty weak logic right there until we see evidence, a drs report or something, i dont believe he is sick, i believe he is fit to fight and probably wants to fight, but his people or frank warren, have pulled him out of the fight, we dont know exactly why yet, i could speculate, but i won't right now

thats pretty weak logic right there What "logic" is there that he's faking exactly?

DDD is in Saudi. Turki will have seen him, as would his doctors. He's also been ultra confident in the build up, if anything it came across like he was overlooking Parker, certainly not worried. If he was faking it, and pulled out this late, then he'd have lost any chance at another payday, so very highly, unlikely. He's almost definitely sick. thats pretty weak logic right there

Sign the fight, go into camp, travel to the venue and then chuck a sickie? Pretty much no chance. People have invested money in this fight and are inconvenienced by it. If he's faking to duck then he'll be black balled by anyone involved in boxing.

There's no evidence of any shadiness at all, people get sick, elite athletes who are peaking are vulnerable to infection. Parker ruined two years of his career fighting Joyce when he was sick. Dubois vs Parker is pretty much a pick em fight, if Dubois has got a flu then it becomes 80-20 parker and Dubois fighting would be giving his belt away so... I get being annoyed that the title fight is off but there's no grounds for accusations, if it happens again with Dubois in a future fight maybe, but for now it's just shit happens.

Well, if he isn't really sick then he took the knee this time around even before the fight began. He may be unwell but I also think he was unprepared for this fight. He had no business challenging Usyk and doing other stuff while in training camp which was not like him. Even Frank mentioned once/twice in his interviews that Dubois needs to get serious or prepare properly for this fight.

My bet is both Schofield and Dubois both tested positive but turki has paid off the British boxing board to keep quiet and they have accepted on the terms that both guys pullout. Seems suss as.

All the comments of "I knew this card was too good to be true." I was looking forward to Dubois-Parker. That would've been such a good fight.

Could he have the same thing Scofield had?

No he not dubious more than earned the fury uysk winner and it seems uysk have little fights left for him right now...either he been tapped on the shoulder about a usyk offer or he is making a business decision to possibly ruin it all vs a spoiler like Parker who is hard to look good against if hes not truly sick he should be banned from boxing, a disgrace

i wanna see something official from his doctor, if not not i'm gonna assume something shifty is going on with dubois and his people No he not dubious more than earned the fury uysk winner and it seems uysk have little fights left for him right now...either he been tapped on the shoulder about a usyk offer or he is making a business decision to possibly ruin it all vs a spoiler like Parker who is hard to look good against
