Comments Thread For: Daniel Dubois To Defend IBF Heavyweight Title Against Anthony Joshua At Wembley Stadium

[MulaKO]

Warrington getting a shot after being KO’d at the weight below just doesn’t feel right to me. Would’ve preferred Barrett or Wood. I do give Josh a decent chance of winning though.

Not after what I’ve seen of him lately

Assuming Joshua wins listening to Eddie Hearn claim he is the real heavyweight champion will be insufferable

He’ll say he’s a 3x champ like Ali was.

Very lame troll attempt.

Usyk is (was) the first undisputed HW champion in 24 years... Only Uysk and Joshua actually fought people out of the top guys. Fury managed 3 x top-10 guys in 8 years. Wilder's first live (young) top-10 guy was Parker. Why would Fury and Wilder fight AJ? when they can't even fight guys 80% as good??

Debunked.....with prejudice.

You have to acknowledge that your post is based solely on ranking the heavyweights and their career opposition in accordance with who YOU think is good, bad and middling.

Who's "Top Ten" are you basing that stuff on???

ESPN? The Ring? Boxing Scene? The WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO?

I am not a troll of any kind, have seen all of those fighters live at least three times and I stand by my horseskit.

He’ll say he’s a 3x champ like Ali was.

I honestly believe that was the motivation behind Fury's second "retirement" when he vacated the Ring/TBRB title again. He wanted to win it back again so he could claim to be a 3X champion like Ali.

I know Dubois would have much rather preferred to win it in the ring, but he's never stopped grinding and bounced back from both of his losses.

Didn't earn it, but deserves it lol.

It was going to be Joshua vs. Either Hrgovic or Dubois. This was planned well before Usyk and Fury stepped in together.
WBAlphebet titles are just trinkets up for sale to the high bidder.
Earning it?? That boils down to winning the one fight against the appointed opponent.
It's not perfect, but we'll watch.

Hahahahahahahahaha Dubois, the real Heavyweight Champion of the World!!

I thought it was for the vacant title but Triple Knee is now a 2-time champ! Can’t make it up.

What’s next? WBA stripping Usyk and declaring Razvan Cojanu their Champion and make Wilder the mandatory?

What a clown show.

I thought so too. Fury knows his HW history too, he was definitely aware of that fact.

This is a good fight. Looking forward to it

There is only one thing wrong with this fight: calling it a contest for the world's Heavyweight championship. It isn't. It simply isn't. And everyone knows it.

The promoters would do well to drop the pretense. But if they won't, then at the very least, the *writers should. Someone has to speak the truth about this.

And I mean no disrespect. I myself could not compete on *anything at even the state (USA) level. I can't fathom the competition at the national level. And the best in the world? They're practically gods.

But that's what it means to be the world's champion. It means to be the best in the *world. Bar none. And no matter what the IBF says, everyone, including Joshua and Dubois themselves, knows that Usyk is *the Heavyweight Champion of the world. Period.

There's no shame in them making this contest. It is on fact, a very high level fight on the world class level. It's just not the championship. That's all.

And more people who love boxing need to speak up and say so to put an end to this nonsense. It dilutes the accomplishments of the greats of the past. It's a shame.

I'll watch Joshua and Dubois with interest, and I applaud them making the contest. I just won't be calling it a world title fight or recognizing the winner as a champion. That road goes through Usyk at the moment.

Belt or not, it's an interesting fight. Can A.J wear down and stop Dubois or will DD land a big one and drop Joshua, ala Ruiz?
