The Boxing thread

Daniel Dubois, hyped young heavyweight, fight against Dutch champion about to start on BT. He’s supposed to be a KO artist so lets see how long it lasts
Fighting Joe Joyce in October who’s also unbeaten, could be a decent fight but I think Dubois will get the win which will put him in the mix with the big boys in 2021.
 
Not quite boxing
But
CONOR McGregor has been released without charge after spending 48 hours in custody on suspicion of attempted "sexual assault and indecent exposure".

Prosecutors on the French holiday island in the Mediterranean confirmed that the 32-year-old Irishman was arrested on Thursday night following a complaint against him.

There's a history there with these allegations
 
Tony Yoka, French Olympic gold medallist made short work of his opponent yesterday, stopping him in the 1st round. Although a bit of a premature stoppage, he had put him down twice, within just 1 and a half minutes. Duhaupas was expected to be at least a durable opponent, since he had only been stopped twice before by none other than "the hardest hitter in boxing history" Wilder, where he lasted until the 11th round. Povetkin was the only other fighter to stop him who stopped him in 6 but Duhaupas was a late replacement after Povetkin failed a VADA test in 2016(meldonium).

The Heavyweight World Boxing Super Six idea that's being floated around, might be a pipedream but it would be great to see some of these up an comers in one of those tournaments. It would do them all good but these days a loss against decent opposition is never put in the right context by the masses.

Who wouldn't want to watch this super six?

Daniel Dubois (UK)
Tony Yoka (FR)
Filip Hrgovic (CRO)
Arslanbek Makhmudov (RUS)
Efe Ajagba (NG)
Jared Anderson (USA) - Maybe he's too young for a tournament like this though.

There's even some lesser known heavies with good records as second choices, who would make it interesting:
Frank Sanchez (CUB)
Agit Kabayel (GER)

It's a shame we'll never see it because the above shows the talent is there to do it, even outside of the title holders or current top 10 contenders.
