    No thanks

    Bakole, Zhang or Kabayel please, I'm sick of the British merry go round of Usyk opponents, let's see a fresh matchup.

      Prefer the Parker fight. Which could happen if he wins against Dubois.

        Second this - Kabayel and Bakole are probably the only two remaining at heavyweight whose true level is unknown and it would be good to see either challenge Usyk.

        Dubois has improved, but I see little he could do that Usyk wouldn’t be able to adjust to, and eventually, he’d stop him again. If (and it’s a big if) Dubois beats Parker.

        Credit to Turki who seems to have helped to sort out the entire heavyweight division in about 18 months - where there were many intriguing contenders (Hrgovic, Sanchez, Zhang etc) it’s now far clearer of the levels of most.

            Dubois will lose to Parker.

              As impressive as Dubois was against Joshua, a win against Parker is no given. Especially if Dubois is already looking ahead to a rematch with usyk.

                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.

                  Fighters like DD are tailormade for Usyk. The only advantage for DD is his youth.

                    If hes gonna carry on fighting i'd rather it was against fresh opponents.

                    Tbh though, the guy is 37 years old, fighting consistently against bigger more powerful opponents. If he wanted to retire now nobody is gonna have an issue with it, in fact I think most would support it. Hes done more than enough at this point.
