Both fighters are tall, rangy, and awkward opponents with long reach. De La Chapelle, even when moving forward, prefers a careful approach — he provokes his opponent to throw and then counters. Biggs is a power boxer who has earned many of his victories through size and physical advantage. This time, however, that edge — if any — will be minimal.
Biggs is 22 — five years younger than his rival — yet he already has quality experience outside the Grand Prix. His most notable bout was against Nikita Tszyu, where Dyllan was stopped early. In the previous round, the Australian defeated the technically skilled Ukrainian Frolov. That’s a solid résumé — one that Lancelot can hardly match.
Both fighters throw a similar volume of punches, though Biggs is slightly more active. He tends to take the initiative and will likely fight as the aggressor once again.
At the same time, he doesn’t sacrifice accuracy — Biggs lands more jabs, more power shots, and connects overall with greater consistency across all categories.
This is unquestionably the most active year in both fighters’ careers. The real question is whether they can maintain this pace. Initially, the semifinals were scheduled for eight rounds, but the WBC later shortened them to six — possibly because not all participants were recovering fully before the next stage.
Biggs hasn’t scored any stoppages during the Grand Prix, while De La Chapelle has. Still, the Australian’s punches look heavier and more convincing.
On the other hand, Lancelot’s style is tailor-made to catch aggressive opponents — meaning he’ll definitely have chances to finish the fight early.
Neither man has shown significant issues with taking a punch, but the possibility of a knockout can’t be ruled out. Both have the power to end the contest and reach the final before six rounds are up.
In Riyadh, neither fighter will have the comfort of home advantage or sympathetic judging. Expect a fair, straightforward boxing contest.
Both men could become breakout names in their home countries with a win here. Australia — and Oceania overall — continues to strengthen its boxing presence, with champions and passionate fans. France, by contrast, isn’t known as a boxing powerhouse, giving Lancelot a chance to make his mark.
The outcome depends on several key factors: technical and tactical preparation, an intelligent game plan, and the ability to execute it under pressure. And, of course, experience — where Biggs holds the clear advantage.
