    Dubois up to 3rd in WBO rankings, well on course. Shame he’s so dull outside of the ring.

    Don't know how he got that rank considering he fights no name amateurs like this guy.

    The Joyce fight got pulled due to lockdown, that fight was nothing more than a bit of cardio.

    You still think he’s another 4 years off challenging?

    He’s got lots of promise but he’s only 22 and he’s largely only been in with road sweepers. I don’t get how he’s 3rd in the rankings either tbh.

    The danger with him, is pushing him up too many levels too quickly imo. I think he’ll beat Joyce and then they’ll be calling for him to fight at World level & I’m not convinced he’ll be ready.

    I have no clue of his ability as he hasn't fought anyone of note yet - he might actually be the next Mike Tyson or could be the the next Audley Harrison.

    FYI The Joyce fight has been rearranged for Oct 24th 2020.

    Don’t follow boxing much at all these days, but Alex Dilmaghani is a very exciting fighter. Got his work cut out tonight by all accounts, but one thing Alex won’t be is remotely intimidated. Looking forward to this, and thank you Channel 5.

    Yeah, he did. Showed his naivety a bit maybe, had nothing left in the tank for the last couple. No complaints though, Ziani was a worthy winner.

    Are you constructing invitations for circa 100 guests?

    The Ritson fight last night ffs. One of the most blatantly bent or completely incompetent (take your pick) decisions I’ve ever seen in the game, and I’ve seen plenty.

    That was an absolute disgrace to the sport.

    His corner as well during the fight ffs. You’re boxing well......

    No mate, he’s lost virtually every round.

    I know mate he's very basic so it won't make much difference, but if he wants to do better he needs to get rid of that trainer.

    Ultimately he's just not very good... He's tough ill give him that, but the power it looked like he had at the lower weight was what made him look dangerous in his early days, but that power was never actually real.. He's European level at best

    As for how laws... Omg he was pure entertainment but seriously I've got better skills.. Hearn just used that clown... Embarrassing
