Dubois was robbed Usyk should have been counted out instead he was given ten minutes to regain composer
That was a clean body shot from Dubois in round 5 smh
I Predict Dubois to win in 8
Although it would be good if usyk wins against Dubois and then he can go back to try to fight one of the big 4 but on the other side it would be cool if another star would show up and even beat usyk. It’s kinda like AJ vs Klitschko but Dubois is the contender. But I know that usyk is way more skilled than Dubois so I’m not sure if that’s even possible.
Sorry but prince junior is fighting and that’s it for me sold Gona watch both usyk and prince naheed win decively
Hope Usyk win
