    He should fight another super heavyweight and show the world skills matter more than power, size and strength. Usyk only has a few more years in him at the top level despite his healthy lifestyle and dedication so he needs to beat new names to add to recipe.

    What’s with all this obsession with rematches? Dubois did absolutely nothing to deserve the belt or a rematch.
    Apart from smashing Hrgovic and then Joshua. Which after the Miller fight was a pretty impressive threesome. Dubois is a different animal now.

    He's going to smash Parker and then hunt Usyk down

      Ahh if Dubois knocks out Parker in style I’d be up for the rematch but if it’s competitive may as well give opetia (who really thinks zurdo would give him a challenge ? ) or Moses a chance to be great, why not, that gets me more excited

        What is he doing differently now compared to when he fought Usyk? Looks pretty much the same to me.

          Usyk wilder isn't competitive. I've said it many times, Usyk would pick wilder apart and knock him out in 4 or 5.

              He's vastly more experienced and knows rather than thinks that he's one of the top guys. Confidence in his own ability is far greater now.

              He knows he can hurt Usyk but he's now been in with top guys who hit hard and done them. Usyk looks his age. Dubois is a real test now

                Dubois is gonna get a lesson in boxing from Parker and lose.

                A Parker/Usyk fight for greatest of this era and undisputed is manifest destiny.

                  He now has the experience of getting his ears boxed off by Usyk. I dunno how much good is confidence gonna bring him when he lacks the skills and gets hit by everything his opponent throws at him. Sounds more like Tyson vs McNeeley type of thing than a real test.

                  Parker is a real test for Dubois. Fast hands, good chin, lots of experience against top opposition and ability to execute a gameplan.

                      It's amazing how many people still don't know how a low blow is defined. It hit his friggin cup, FFS. His shorts were below the navel which defines the low blow line. The only reason this "controversy" exists is that people like to hate Usyk and don't understand the rules. Dubois is going to get a lesson from Parker, and that's the next fight to make, but if he beats Parker in style, I'm down for him to get his reminder from Usyk again. Dubois hit Usyk with something like 12 low blows before the one in question.
