It’s a tough decision to make, but ultimately the health and well-being of the fighter must come first. Hopefully, Dubois will have another opportunity for a big fight in the future once he has fully recovered.
It’s clear that Dubois and his team are disappointed by the missed opportunity to fight in Riyadh due to illness. Despite the speculation that he may have ducked the fight, his trainer Charles insists that it makes no sense for them to go through all the trouble of a costly training camp and travel only to opt out of the fight at the last minute.
Charles also mentions Dubois’ recurring viral illness and the need to investigate its cause to prevent future setbacks. The focus now is on Dubois’ next fight in the summer, with potential matchups against the likes of Oleksandr Usyk or Joseph Parker.
Regardless of who they face next, Dubois’ team is ready to take on any opponent that their promoter brings to them. They recognize the ever-changing nature of the boxing business and are prepared to adapt to whatever opportunities come their way.
Ultimately, the goal remains the same – to secure a shot at a world title and continue to prove themselves as top contenders in the heavyweight division.
