Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk set to defend world heavyweight title in rematch against Daniel Dubois

So in my generation. I seen Terrence Crawford go undisputed twice, Naoya Inoue go undisputed twice, uysk go undisputed twice, canelo attempt to go undisputed twice and now Uysk tempting going undisputed 3 Times!!!!!!! If he gets this he goes above your favorite heavyweight at this point. Weak era or not. This is crazy.

It's a fight for a belt Usyk never lost in the first place so while I wouldn't want to downplay what he's done, it ain't all that crazy tbh but as always, the numbers don't lie.

Yup and Usyk is a former Cruiserweight taking on modern Super Heavyweights in the 250+ lb range, incredible really.

I'd also argue that it's not so much about the era being weak or not and has more to do with Usyk being that much better than everybody else, a generational talent.

Are you related to the 2 ducks in question ?

...and I don't do wishes or bad luck.

Nope no relation, and you're right you do "hope", so you should "hope" someone in you're family gets injured, how's that.

Piss poor. Do better!

Dubois got through Joseph Parker without even being hit, much to the surprise of many as his unbeaten streak continued. Can he get robbed of a KO vs the most protected and gifted man in boxing again? Nash out - His Majesty

What a whining plonka you are nash. Dubois fell ill, get over it, it happens all the time in boxing. Bob out

Idrr

Another rematch..... Id rather Kabayel got his shot. He took Zhangs soul where Parker barely survived & crawled over the line against him. Dubois Parker on the undercard.

A body snatcher against Usyk, come on, that sells itself.

Wembley stadium? They're going to need a card for that.

[Haka]

Duck Dubois, Parker, Kabayel none of them have a chance.

[Mr Mitts]

Parker is sht.

Don't speak about the Great Nash like that. Yes, of course, Dubois fell ill with zero evidence immediately after Uysk turned up and they talked. He did not want to gamble his spot. Nash out - His Majesty

rematches him because a few people don’t understand that you can’t uppercut someone’s sphincter. I won’t pay for this mismatch.

That isn't quite accurate, though.

We know Usyk is undisputed champion but according to the stankin' authorities, he isn't.

The reason for the rematch is not because of any contentious low-blow. If it was low then keeping it 100, Usyk was kinda lucky it didn't land a touch higher.

So no, the reason for the rematch is not because of any contentious low-blow but because Dubois played the hand he was dealt and went out there & won a world title thus fulfilling Usyk's own in-ring prediction at the end of the first fight. That's the reason.

On a sporting level, it's not bad at all. As others have pointed out, Dubois has improved. He wasn't exactly a complete dud to begin with & seems to have a built-in redemption arc.

Lest we forget, they both gave each other some difficulty
