Comments Thread For: Dubois-Joyce Winner Will Be Mandatory For a World Title Next Year, Says Warren

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Frank Warren, promoter for unbeaten heavyweight Daniel Dubois, expects his fighter to become a superstar in the future. Dubois (15-0, 14 KOs) was in action last month, when he blew away Ricardo Snijders in two rounds after scoring four knockdowns.

Typical Fi$h £yes B/S! Neither Dubois or Joyce are World level & with the likes of Pulev, Wilder, Usyk, waiting in the wings there not likely to be for at least 2 years. It's apparent that Warren hates the idea of an undisputed/unified champion & will pull whatever strings he can to create a vacant belt for his prospects. The sooner he crawls back under his rancid stone the better!

Pulev will be gone from world level after Joshua beats him. Pulev has always looked average at best, he is the most known for being knocked out by Klitschko.

Wilder will be gone from world level after Fury stops him again, which is very likely.
Usyk has only fought 1 journeyman at hw.

So, there is nothing to suggest Dubois and Joyce are not on the same level with those guys.

After unification happens, we need fresh blood in championship fights.

Agreed, but all these fights take time, so any chance of the Dubois/Joyce winner getting a shot will take time. Look what we have, Fury/Wilder. Joshua/Pulev. Hopefully Fury/Joshua 1 & 2 then the mandatory's Usyk & Whyte/Povetkin. Consideration also must be taken into account that if DDD/Jug is close there could be a rematch, so we could be talking 2 years.

Warren, who works with both fighters . . . but only ever talks about Dubois.

Joyce wants to make sure this doesn't go to a decision.

The only titles worthy of this fight are the British, Commonwealth and European. It'd be a perfect triple regional title matchup.

Not sure this guy understands how rankings work. Right now in all the major belts none of them are ranked high enough to suddenly be the top contender for the title. I highly doubt DD will move up past Usyk in the WBO and in the other rankings neither is in the top 5.

I think Wilder will retire after Fury beats him again. Even if titles get vacated and someone else picks titles up, Nobody is really going to opt to fight Wilder in a voluntary fight because he can level you at any minute. And I can’t see Wilder stepping back down to fight guys to try and get into mandatory positions for significantly less money than he’d been making fighting guys like Fury.

At 35+, I think that will probably be the end of him.

Good thing for the division is probably Fury and Joshua having two fight because that will tie the belts up for a year or so, but it will give the fighters below them time to fight each other and make a statement in the division to be seen as a real challenger.

That’s if Joshua takes a second fight after fury humiliates him. It will probably be so one-sided that people might not care to see it again.

[PRINCEKOOL]

For the WBO I assume, I wonder if Frank Warren still works closely with the WBO?

I think the winner is at-least another big fight away from being in a mandatory position.

But they won't get a title shot next year
