Yeah I want to see this, winner challenges Usyk. Plus I think Chisora would get hurt against DDD.

Chisora is the ultimate journeyman. Man is still popular in the UK and somehow just keeps coming back from the abyss of boxing to somehow to stay alive and get back into marquee fights. Can't knock him tho. Dude is never in boring fight and never fails to bring it even at his age. As good a run as Dubois has been on lately, if he shows any of the weaknesses he has shown in the past, there might be a small chance of an astronomical upset if Chisora has anything left. Dude still has power and Dubois' defense is very leaky. Should be an intriguing matchup.

Best resume in boxing chisora.

Way down in ability , way up in heart should that be enough to secure a world title shot ? There's much better fights for Daniel but I can't begrudge Del anything , problem is Del is getting hurt.

Well the game waits for no fighter 'And if the IBF have not mandated that Daniel Dubois should fight Derek Chisora, then that fight should happen. My understanding is that? The undisputed Championship over rides any mandatory fight, so there is only really two moves Dubois can make next without vacating his IBF World titles'.

It is also clear in my opinion 'That fighters such as Anthony Joshua, and even potentially the retired Tyson Fury are watching how this Heavyweight development concludes. Because it will influence their next moves i.e. Anthony Joshua is potentially ether going to be fighting Daniel Dubois II or Joseph Parker next for his comeback fight. Those are not the only two fighters he can fight, but? They are the best and highest level candidates which theoretically he can compete against'.

I don't think Daniel Dubois is at the level in the game, in terms of his prestige and notoriety 'Where he can just vacate World titles, and still behave like he is a top level fighter. Dubois is mostly likely going to decide to hold onto his hard fought won World titles, and defend those titles. Ether against Oleksandr Uysk II in a Undisputed title fight or Derek Chisora for his mandatory defense'.

In this situation it really does seem like 'Oleksandr Uysk has all the power to create a domino effect. Which makes me wonder? He ether chooses to fight Daniel Dubois or Joseph Parker. The Undisputed title fight is obviously the biggest and most significant fight for him'.

Note: In regards to the Derek Chisora vs Daniel Dubois fight 'I don't think it is inconceivable for Derek Chisora to have a chance of winning. I honestly believe if Dubois does not have the ability to hurt his opponents or stop them in their tracks 'I don't think his game is sophisticated enough to win on points vs many top level Heavyweights including Anthony Joshua in a potential rematch'. Daniel Dubois being a front runner, has nothing to do with him lacking courage. As Dubois has shown courage in all of his loses, such a battling on for so long against Joe Joyce while injured. Daniel Dubois being a front runner as a fighter, seems to be a bi-product of his style and fundamental make up'. He seems to be a like a computer game character, with a limited amount of moves at this stage of his career. Don Charles I am sure, is aware that he needs to train Dubois more into a complete fighter if he is to reign as a World Heavyweight Champion'.

Don Charles knows Dubois is a front runner, which is why in my opinion. He is still weary of Dubois fighting Chisora miles out of his peak. Chisora's entire game is one of attrition, even still now at this stage of his career. And you never know? If Chisora is able to withstand the power of Dubois, that type of fight as the action progresses could be a very dangerous and difficult for Daniel Dubois'.

If Derek Chisora was at his absolute peak 'A fight against Daniel Dubois in my opinion, is close to a 50/50 fight, slightly in favour of Chisora winning. Stylistically I honestly think it could be a nightmare of a match up for Dubois, if Chisora can mould himself into one last solid fighting version of himself. That is very optimistic thinking, and not really what the status quo is going to reflect, but? There are details in the action of fights. And Daniel Dubois from my analysis is nowhere near as formidable and dangerous as the media are trying to make out'.

I don't rate Daniel Dubois skill for skill super highly as an elite level fighter, and I think he is a front runner at top level 'Until he produces a performance which shows evidence that he is not. All there signs were there even against Anthony Joshua on his worst night, that he was beginning to fade as a fighter. The statistics of Joshua vs Dubois, even show this trend in the action appearing as the fight progressed. It was Anthony Joshua's uncharacteristic unforced errors and technical mistakes, which amplified Dubois's power and lead to the knock out. Without those mistakes, even Anthony Joshua on his worst night as professional fighter? Was in my opinion on his way to fighting his way back into the fight and systematically beating down Daniel Dubois over the distance'.

To conclude: Daniel Dubois's promoters are most likely thinking 'That the fight against Oleksandr Uysk II, is the best fight for him win or lose. Because even if Dubois loses vs Uysk II again, all Dubois needs to do is improve on his last efforts to still come out of that fight with credit. Whereas in fights against Anthony Joshua II or Joseph Parker, Dubois is going to have a very difficult time especially vs Joshua improving on his last performance'.

Anybody that knows boxing from a technical perspective 'Is aware that Daniel Dubois is there for the taking. And guess what? He has already been taken; we have already seen Daniel Dubois being knocked out by a single jab from a fighter in Oleksandr Uysk I who has never been renowned for his brute strength or punching power. Dubois in all of his top level loses has been done by the middle rounds'.

Daniel Dubois story towards capturing the IBF Heavyweight titles is great 'The courage and determination he has shown, fighting on after traumatic losses vs Joe Joyce is inspiring. But as a Heavyweight fighter and Champion, he is the type of fighter who is ether going win in spectacular fashion or lose in spectacular fashion. It is inevitable, it is just of matter of when'.

Oleksandr Uysk II, Joseph Parker, and Anthony Joshua II 'In my opinion all of those fighters can beat Dubois. I don't think Dubois has raised the level of his game, to point where other top level Heavyweight fighters need to stay away from him. All the top level fighters, and boxing coaches in the world are in my opinion? Very aware of the blue print on how to beat Daniel Dubois. Uysk, Parker and Joshua all know the science and theory of how to beat Dubois it is just a matter of executing that level of performance, which I definitively don't think is outside the realms of their abilities' etc.
