So, is it a given that Dubois beats AJ? I have some doubts that happens, but never can tell.

What? DuBois has been stopped in both of the fights he's had against live opposition. Joshua is going to walk right through him.

Good, all Ustiff has gotten is gift decisions against both Joshua and Fury

Either you're being extremely sarcastic,or you need to step away from the computer,and take a walk to reevaluate things.

The fighters need to have a moratorium on sanctioning bodies and ALL refuse to pay the fee moving forward. We need to get rid of them and go back to one champion. Imagine having four super bowls or four MLB Finals. It's just so asinine having multiple champions especially when they pull **** like this.

I agree but I’d add that thee belt that signifies the CHAMPis the Ring magazine belt. Now we have the IBO trying to muddy up the waters.

Good move by Usyk. He should also drop the IBO, that’s all we need is another title . 5 belt era

He should have lost to dubois via body shot ko anyway. Nothing to prove to aj.

The IBO doesn't charge sanctioning fees at heavyweight. It's a free belt so there's no reason for anyone to vacate it unless they're retiring or moving down in weight.

That's why heavyweights never vacate it but bigger name fighters at lower weights often do. Lomachenko chose not to pay the fees when he beat Kambosos for the IBF/IBO titles, for example. He just kept the IBF strap because he doesn't value the IBO more than whatever small sanctioning fees they'd get out of him for it.

What the phucck is going on with you @boxingscene.com???
You are editing words like m.a.g.a.zine just because it may look like a Donald T thing?
Why have you edited the name of the great champion Ridd.i.c.k. Bowe? Just because your AI bots flagged it as not so politically correct? Wake up, morons, let people express their feelings. Are you a part of the new Mccarthyism of our times???
Spineless!
