He can't get big big money unless he's fighting a brit, he's not a draw. He just goes in and does the bare minimum to out point his opponent, rarely gets into an explosive brawl. He's a safe fighter, won't take risks. All the eastern Europeans fight like this because it's the amateur style in which they all have extensive careers, British heavies rarely have long amateur careers.

There’s so much wrong with this statement I genuinely don’t know where to start.

He went toe to toe with Fury, Joshua, Dubois, Breidis, Chisora, Bellew, Gassiev and beat them all up.
 
To knock a man down twice , who is known to want out , and have 2 10 8 rounds , and then just throw haymakers was silly. Fuck knows what his corner were thinking. Box clever and put even more doubt into Dubois head.

Corner needed to stop that, terrible. Well done Dubois though.

You can't beat the British fighters for entertainment, that's why they bring the biggest money. The likes of Usyk and the other eastern Europe heavies are boring af, as were the Klitschkos.

Someone's taken too many blows to the head... nonsense comment.

Itauma Dubois would be the logical one but I doubt we will see it. Itauma’s team will probably (rightly) take their time with him. He’s still a kid.

Not sure where Wardley goes. He’s massively over achieved so far. Should have lost comfortably to Huni really.

Wardley should have a good time out after that fight anyway. Took a punishing in there
 
Fair play to Dubois when his career ends this is the fight people will remember.

For those criticising Foster, wardley still had power, never took a knee and he had his own corner amd doctor that should have stopped him from himself

Not sure if we'll ever see Wardley in the ring again but think Dubois has built up enough credit in the bank to have a bit of a soft touch next time up without anyone being too critical. Usyk, Miller, Hrgovic, Joshua, Usyk rematch and Wardley back-to-back is a canny run by the standards of the current division.

Never in a bad fight very similar to dave Allen (though Sam was better) in that they had a ceiling

Wardly back to British level.

I said this earlier on, this match making wasn't great for Dubios. He gets little out of it as its not a name that anyone else will care about. Maybe it being such a mad fight will catch attention though.
But Dubois has a belt now, he's still really young, he doesn't need another pasting off Uysk, fuck that. And leave Itauma alone for now too, let him do his thing elsewhere. Go take 3-4 fights against top 10 fighters who he can handle without too much fuss.

Kabael, Gassiev etc are the likes that both Dubious and Itauma should be looking at. Itauma can get rounds with Hergovic, and Zhang etc too. Get a few more wins on the record and let Usyk go into the distance. Maybe even pick the last bones of AJ and Fury if they get the chance before they retire. THEN go after eachother.

Wardley will absolutely get big money to fight again. Just needs to realise he's not a top 10 world HW, and needs to work his way up over his next 5 fights while he learns how to actually box, not just throw bombs. Again, Wilder comparisons galore here.

Wardley hasn't got the skills or experience. Was a bloke when he took the sport up and came through the white collar route.

He lost most rounds in his last two fights and came through on chin, heart, power and grit. Can't really knock him because he has achieved way more than he should ever have been able to.

Dubois been boxing since he was about eight, just naturally more gifted, better technically and has more experience to fall back on.

Knock downs were big heavy ones neither, Dubois was fine and composed so rushing in would have left him open to counters. He probably though he would land more on Dubois as the fight progressed as well but Dubois just straight took over after that.
