A fight between IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois and WBO interim champion Joseph Parker is slated for a huge Riyadh Seaon card on February 22. The fight isn’t official yet, but it’s apparently in the works.
Coming off his fifth-round destruction of Anthony Joshua on Sept. 21, Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) could be an exciting matchup against the slick 32-year-old Parker (35-3, 23 KOs).
This fight will show if the 27-year-old Dubois can handle a slick heavyweight who uses movement, angles and short bursts to steal rounds. Parker has changed his fighting style and become a smooth fighter since losing to Joe Joyce in 2022.
Joyce will have to take the fight to Parker and fight hard for three minutes of each round two win. Parker’s last two opponents, Zhilei Zhang and Deontay Wilder, did not fight hard and allowed him to overcome them.
Also planned for the February 22nd card is the Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol rematch, and the Shakur Stevenson vs. Floyd Schofield showdown. No battle has yet been fought.
