This is how greatness is accomplished. Nobody is interested in watching Moses get rounds, we want him in fights he could lose, otherwise, why are we watching? Kabayel, then if he wins Usyk. Then he can say "Boxing, completed it, mate." Get on! Nash out - His Most Majestic Majesty

That is how promising careers are ruined,overmatching.
Itauma had 22 amateur fights for a total of 44 rds,and 11 pro fights totaling 23 rds.

Kabayel has 26 pro fights and 131 rds. He has /holds the
NBAF title
WBC Interim
WBU NABO
Euro title

Fully behind Usyk being the true champion and totally against the IBF’s BS but Dubious still holds a piece of the pie. He’s officially a Heavyweight Champion. He can’t fight Usyk as a contender, it would have to be a unification.

Agreed on that. Technically he's a titlist, but effectively, he's still a contender.

The word "champion" precludes the possibility of there being more than one. Period.

There is one champion in any division. The belts are trinkets.

In your opinion. Officially though, Dubois is a champion whether we agree with it or not.

[crimsonfalcon07]

In your opinion. Officially though, Dubois is a champion whether we agree with it or not.

He's as much a champion as Tank Davis was at 140. Semantics aside, you know as well as the rest of us that Dubois isn't a real champion, and won't be as long as Usyk remains unbeaten in the division.

[famicommander]

In your opinion. Officially though, Dubois is a champion whether we agree with it or not.

By your reasoning Pulev is a champion. And we both know he isn't.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

By your reasoning Pulev is a champion. And we both know he isn't.

Not at all comparable. He’s beneath Usyk in the WBA structure.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Please Dubois only has a paper title, taken from Usyk.
