Comments Thread For: Usyk-Dubois: Alex Krassyuk ($8,057,000) Outbids Queensberry To Secure Rights, August 12 in Poland Eyed

Nah. He was dropped three times by a soft touch in his last bout.

If he vacates the belt, he could very well be KO'd between that and his next payday. Too much of a risk.

This is his chance to cash out and, if he gets lucky, beat Usyk and become the man.

It’s better money than he’ll get anywhere else but with all the drama in his career recently and the fact he’d have to travel makes me wonder whether he’ll take it.

Just make a damn fight.

Usyk is the cash cow

Is this really going to be held in Poland? Chances of ending up on DAZN?

The Gypsy Princess got Uncle Frank to throw Dubois to the Polish wolves, now he’s just got to pray Dubois pulls off a punch from the Gods and he can wake up from his Usyk nightmare.

So you think he's just gonna vacate his title? I just don't see that happening.

I think it’s possible yeah, they’ve continually delayed the purse bid process. I have a gut feeling they don’t fancy it.

"The winner of the fight will be the sole recognized WBA heavyweight titlist, thus eliminating the ‘Regular’ belt from existence in accordance with the sanctioning body’s ongoing title reduction campaign." - To be replaced by every division having an 'interim' world champion.... they are toying with you. Enjoy the ride!

Still ducking Wilder.

Usyk with 75% split, guessing he won't actually get 75% of this bid and they have a deal.

$2m for Dubois, $4m for Usyk? So actually both are probably similar offers in reality.

Anyway, surprised the bid went ahead, Dubois is apparently not going forward with it. Guess they wanted to see if they could nick the win and put it as far back as possible.
