Definitely deserves his chance, should have been fighting Usyk this weekend instead of Dubois getting another shot, IMO.

The discussion kicks off with Joshua's shocking defeat to Dubois, where many fans express disbelief over his performance. Critics highlight Joshua's form since his losses to Usyk, suggesting that he appeared gun-shy, lacking the aggression needed in the ring. There is a palpable sense of anxiety among the commentators about Joshua's future in the sport, especially considering the multitude of knockdowns he suffered during the fight.12
As the conversation unfolds, opinions diverge on the implications of Joshua's performance. Some argue that this may signal the end of his career, emphasizing the need for him to reassess his approach or contemplate retirement. Others criticize the lack of urgency in his corner, feeling that they should have pulled him from such a one-sided contest earlier.34
The sentiment shifts slightly as fans begin to discuss potential next steps for Joshua. While some believe he may not have the skill set to reclaim his status, others hold out hope for a comeback. Dubois, credited for his impressive performance, raises questions about how Joshua will deal with future matchups against formidable opponents.56
"Dubios destroyed him there. That was a brilliant performance."
"Thought he was going to stage a comeback them ooof."
Verdict
Overall, the thread reveals deep concerns regarding Joshua's boxing future. While Dubois is praised, Joshua's viability as a top contender remains in serious doubt. His next steps will likely determine his legacy and potential return to form.
Definitely deserves his chance, should have been fighting Usyk this weekend instead of Dubois getting another shot, IMO.

The WBO have ordered Oleksandr Usyk vs Joseph Parker. Both parties have 30 days to agree a deal.
Riyadh and Sela have told Ring Magazine they are not interested in Parker v Usyk.
Parker deserves his shot, I'm not suggesting for a minute he would beat Usyk but, he's at the top of his game and he has earned th right to fight for the title. I'd much rather see Usyk vs Parker than another fight with Tyson Fury.

I agree, Parker deserves his shot, but his last 3 fights haven't been too inspiring. Wilder was washed up, Zhang ran out of steam after 6 rounds, and Bakole was a last-minute replacement with no training camp. Parker should get his chance, but I don't think he would trouble Usyk. I also think Usyk will vacate the belt and probably look to fight Fury again for a final payday.
Moses Itauma just blasted Dillian Whyte in round one of all-British heavyweight fight in Saudi Arabia, extending his unbeaten record with his 11th stoppage in 13 fights. He is only 20 years old, a serious talent and a future champion for sure.

Wardley v Parker close to being agreed. Will be an intriguing fight, but feel like it's a level too far for Wardley. He's done extremely well to get to where he has already with his white collar background.
I'm disappointed that Usyk hasn't agreed to a fight with Parker. For some reason, it looks like he is avoiding him - maybe the payday isn't big enough, who knows.
He is currently seeking an extension before entering fight negotiations, claiming he is injured, but videos online have shown him dancing at an event and looking anything but injured, and he also just played a charity football match in Portugal.

Parker is taking Wardley out early tomorrow night, imo.

Looking forward to it, but yes I think it's going to be an easy night for Parker.
Parker is weighing in 9kg heavier than Wardley.
