Would rather Dubois.

No interest in seeing Usyk fight Parker.

Slow Eddie is floating the idea that Parker will be fighting AJ

Seemed to me like he didn't seem keen on it.

I don't all the way blame him, they've already beat Parker, he hasn't got a belt and there's big money fights out there for him.

AJ is stuck between a rock and a hard place, I'm in him I just fight Jake Paul instead if it's actually realistic and available.

Just rewatch their first bout then.

Plenty of interest everywhere else.

Starting to sound like Del Boy will get the DDD fight

I like Chisora but this #1 ranking is ridiculous and su****ious

Rematches don't always play out the same,There are moving parts to consider. That's like saying why bother doing a AJ-Parker rematch, just watxh their first bout where AJ dominated in first gear. But would a rematch play out the same at this stage? I think probably not.

Dubois has come on along way since the first bout both as a fighter in general and definitely confidence wise coming off two impressive wins agasint top ranked opponents and Usyk is closer to 40 now than he is 30, it's at the end of his career.

Dubois has a punchers chance, Parker doesn't.

Stylistically Parker is a walk in the park for Usyk in my opinon, whereas Dubois at least can try and use the new confidence and put some pressure on him and his aging legs and throw big bombs and maybe land one.

Obviously Usyk is heavy favourite to win both but I've got zero interest in the Parker fight. Don't get me wrong he deserves it but I don't see any way Parker has even 1% chance of winning unlike Dubois who has like maybe 10.
