No he not dubious more than earned the fury uysk winner and it seems uysk have little fights left for him right now...either he been tapped on the shoulder about a usyk offer or he is making a business decision to possibly ruin it all vs a spoiler like Parker who is hard to look good against

My bet is both Schofield and Dubois both tested positive but turki has paid off the British boxing board to keep quiet and they have accepted on the terms that both guys pullout. Seems suss as.

Well, if he isn't really sick then he took the knee this time around even before the fight began.
He may be unwell but I also think he was unprepared for this fight. He had no business challenging Usyk and doing other stuff while in training camp which was not like him. Even Frank mentioned once/twice in his interviews that Dubois needs to get serious or prepare properly for this fight.

There's no evidence of any shadiness at all, people get sick, elite athletes who are peaking are vulnerable to infection.
Parker ruined two years of his career fighting Joyce when he was sick. Dubois vs Parker is pretty much a pick em fight, if Dubois has got a flu then it becomes 80-20 parker and Dubois fighting would be giving his belt away so...
I get being annoyed that the title fight is off but there's no grounds for accusations, if it happens again with Dubois in a future fight maybe, but for now it's just **** happens.

DDD is in Saudi. Turki will have seen him, as would his doctors. He's also been ultra confident in the build up, if anything it came across like he was overlooking Parker, certainly not worried.
If he was faking it, and pulled out this late, then he'd have lost any chance at another payday, so very highly, unlikely.
He's almost definitely sick.

Sign the fight, go into camp, travel to the venue and then chuck a sickie?
Pretty much no chance. People have invested money in this fight and are inconvenienced by it. If he's faking to duck then he'll be black balled by anyone involved in boxing.
