Around 36 hours to go, should be a cracker, and also a decent undercard which is a bi product of the Saudi influence.

The main event really is a pick ‘em fight, and bizarrely as current IBF champion Dubois is effectively the ‘A’ side.

Bags of potential as a young fighter, he’s come up short in his two biggest fights, Usyk and Joyce, but you could argue he knocked Usyk down but was never going to get the KO because of the subsequent riot it would have started with 40,000 Ukranians in the stadium, and the Joyce defeat was a freak injury.

But can he beat an apparently rejuvenated AJ?

Yes, I think he stops AJ in 6,7 or 8, when old Father Time finally taps Joshua on the shoulder and he runs out of gas.

Boxing is absolutely flying due to Saudi

Also have a feeling Dubois might get the shock win

Undercard is brilliant , shame about the Liam Smith fight though

Great fight. AJ won’t really get away with tactical back foot performance as Dubois will be throwing bombs from the start. The longer the fight goes the more likely I think Dubois wins. but I think AJ gets the KO win early.

Struggling to see anything other than an AJ win. Dubois looked hopeless against the Joyce jab and low shot aside easy work for Usyk. That being said if he can connect we know AJ has a glass jaw.

AJ late stoppage, round 9. Experience wins the day.

Bouncing this for the fight fans. Very much enjoying Buatsi / Hutchinson. The latter’s cockiness coming back to haunt him at the moment.

Still can’t call the main event. It should be AJ but we’ve seen him choke before.

As for predictions, I’m going for Dubois by knockout/TKO, followed by AJ retirement.

What the **** was that scorecard? The 113-112 followed by a 115-108 the other way. Dear oh dear.

Are you knew to boxing?


I know you're not, but I'm surprised you're surprised
Very used to interesting decisions but they’re not normally THAT obvious. Either someone ran out of brown envelopes or Stevie Wonder took over on the 113-112 score. Or forgot about the knockdowns and points deduction

I'm going with AJ in 7 for the main event, but its heavyweight boxing and we know anything can happen.
