Being good at something is never enough in this country. Sometimes you don’t have to be that good. We like our boxers to transcend boxing in particular.
You’d just have to package Dubois as a sort of unbeatable, boxing hermit for people to take an interest in him. Then the casuals will want him to smash foreigners.
Let’s be honest. We know better. But some British casual boxing fans essentially see boxing as a proxy war. They’ll like him but only if he wins.
Whereas AJ with his laid back way, laugh and smile could get smashed from pillar to post a few more times people will still go and see him.
Hearn would probably create more of a persona for him
All I know that if Eddie Hearn doesn't give Andy Ruiz what he is asking for then he would never get those title belts back; Because soon both the WBA and the IBF are going to start calling in their mandatories.
Therefore, he better settle on a venue to Ruiz liking real quick or he stands a chance of losing those titles for ever. Like the moron he is Eddie forgot to put the venue in the rematch clause now it's negotiable.
He has given Al Haymon and the PBC a lifeline that they didn't deserve. Expect Uncle Al to play hard ball from here on out to the very end. This matter is going to be settled in a court of law.
I hope Hearn has learned his lesson. It's what you get by poaching one of an Al Haymon's fighters. AJ 's A-side ship has sailed and now Haymon holds all the cards
