RE: Heavyweight Division - bart - 05-09-2020
He does seem decent
If he beats JJ then yes def
Seems to have a better chin than AJ but want to see JJ test it.
RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 05-09-2020
Dubois is not taking over anything. He can't beat AJ, Fury, or Wilder. Probably not Usyk, Whyte, or Parker. However, he'll be in the mix to contend in the top ten IF he beats JJ.
RE: Heavyweight Division - craigyid14 - 05-09-2020
He has an excellent jab, and power. I like Dubois, he's a real good prospect.
RE: Heavyweight Division - bart - 05-09-2020
He has been well brought along but is now due a decent test which JJ should bring.
It could be an early night if he lands on JJ but if it goes later rounds JJ has a big engine...
An interesting match up I'm looking forward to watching
Also the Whyte v Povetkin fight is a interesting fight but more to see who has regressed more.
Then we have Usyk v Chisora - can Usyk handle the big boys and can del handle the movement- which could give JP some pointers if they end up in the ring.
Bring it on

Foreman: Tyson could be a top contender
FacebookTwitterReddit
By Ray Wheatley – World of Boxing
Former two-time world heavyweight champion George Foreman was impressed with Mike Tyson after viewing a video clip of him hitting the pads and thinks he could be a contender if he dedicates himself to training.
”I was so happy. He looked like he had turned the clock back at least 20 years,” Foreman told IFL TV. “He was looking fit and those punches were coming sharp. If he’s able to go into the woods and dedicate himself to that for about 10 months, he could come back and really be a top contender…I would like to see him back in the ring. He’s an older fella, but a record is always waiting to be broke.”

Just a thought, but Wilder could be in a pretty good position if he took step aside money to let AJ/Fury fight with the proviso that he fight the winner. If he wins, he's got all four belts, plus plenty of time to get rid of his demons and train right.
RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 05-11-2020
Well, it would be an insult if it was boxing, but it's a celebrity match for fun, and hopefully charity. Get over it Tyson, it's not real. You're 53 years old. That's an insult to boxing, if it were real. Yeah, Foreman was what, 50 when he last boxed, but he was training and winning matches. With Tyson, this is just to make a little money and have fun.

Mike Tyson: I feel unstoppable now
By Ray Wheatley – World of Boxing
Former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has hinted that he may be participating in exhibition bouts after reported offers of $1 million from Australian promoter Brian Amatruda and $20 million from the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.
“It may not be over yet. Anything’s possible,” Tyson said on a #PlayApartTogether live stream on Facebook. “I feel unstoppable now. I feel like I’m in that streak (during his prime) again. The gods of war have reawakened me, ignited my ego and want me to go to war again.
“Imagine if I went out there and fought and I could help all these people we’re talking about, all these animals we’re talking about. That’s what it’s about brother.”
Tyson, 53, said all he’s been doing during the coronavirus lockdown is working out and getting into shape.
“I’m as healthy as I’ve been at any time in my life,” said Iron Mike. “I just work out every day. I live life like I’ve been living before this situation.”

Tyson Fury REFUSES To Pay Deontay Wilder To Step Aside
May 14, 2020 by Will Arons
Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury - WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury isn't going to pay Deontay Wilder to step aside for him to take on IBF/WBA/WBO champion Anthony Joshua in what could be the biggest heavyweight match in the history of the sport.
WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury isn’t going to pay Deontay Wilder to step aside for him to take on IBF/WBA/WBO champion Anthony Joshua in what could be the biggest heavyweight match in the history of the sport.
Fury would rather gamble and take his chances that he can beat Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) in 2020 a second time and then advance to the unification with Joshua in early 2021.
If Fury’s decision not to pay Wilder a step aside backfires on him, then he’s going to have pie in his face. However, the Joshua-Fury fight can still happen at some point, even if Fury loses to Wilder in their trilogy match this year.
It just won’t make as much money if Fury is knocked out by Wilder, and he comes into the Joshua fight off the back of a loss instead of a win.
“I wouldn’t pay [Wilder] to step aside, I’d rather give him another battering,” said Fury to Mark Wright on his Instagram. “He’s got a rematch clause. Some newspaper reporters said he wanted $10 million to step aside. I’m NOT paying him any money to step aside.
“I’d rather take his scalp again. I won’t pay him $2 million to step aside. I’d rather give him another battering again. I’m going to take him out a third time, hopefully at the end of the year,” said Fury.
As you can see, Fury’s feet aren’t entirely on the ground, are they? Fury’s 7th round knockout win over Wilder last February has gone to his head, making him believe that it’s easy to beat him now. This could prove to be a significant error on Fury’s part if Wilder comes into the third fight just as lethal as he was in their first match in 2018.
For the fans that don’t remember, Wilder dropped Fury twice and was arguably robbed of a knockout in the 12th.
With Fury’s popularity, he’ll be able to get a fourth fight against Wilder if he loses to him. He might have to wait, though, because Wilder will take on Joshua in a unification clash, and he’ll also need to face WBC mandatory Dillian Whyte.
Fury: I’m Battling Joshua In 2021
“We’re going to go into 2021 for the biggest fight in boxing fight history between two undefeated British heavyweights [editors’ note: Joshua has one loss on his resume],” said Fury. “Then we’re going to battle for all the gold. That’s because we’re undefeated,” said Fury in forgetting that Joshua was knocked out in 2019 by Andy Ruiz Jr.
