IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois is sick and will not fight against Joseph Parker on Saturday night on the map of Turki Alalshikh in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Dubois against Parker is off.
Parker (35-3, 23 COs) is being sought to stay on the map, but with only two days notice the options are slim. Dubois-Parker was expected to have the co-feature for Saturday’s re-broadcast between Artur Betterbiev and Dmitri Biscuit to Dazn ppv.
Card
Ariel Helwani broke the news About Dubois is off the map on Saturday, which is a huge hit for the event. There is no word or one of the other undermade fights to be moved to the main support.
Fans showed very little interest in the Dubois-Parker battle during the building of Saturday’s event. The reasons for this are the two fighters’ lack of charisma and Parker’s dull fighting style. He is not a must-see TV for fans. It was a bad idea of ​​the beginning to have Dubois against Parker as the most important support for this enormous card.
The smart solution would be to the Vergil Ortiz jr. Vs. Israil Madrimov moving, fighting in the co-Feature place and moving Parker down against whom they will fight at the last minute. You can’t expect much. Even if they would find someone talented, Parker would agree to fight against them without distorting his arm? It is questionable.
In a perfect world, Martin Bakole would be withdrawn and the substitute opponent for Joseph Parker on Saturday night to fight. There is no way that Parker would ever agree to it. His chances of winning against Bakole would be slim and no, but it would be nice to look at the fans. It would be like watching a lion eat a meal. Turki wants to create more interest in the sport to bring it back to what it was in the 1960s when Muhammad Ali was on top. If you bring in bakingols, it will arouse the fans.
If Turki wants to be resourceful, he can move Zhilei Zhang or Agit Kabayel as the opponent of Joseph Parker in the co-place on Saturday’s map in the co-place in the co-place. It would ask a lot for the fighters to take the kind of risk to go against another fighter they did not train for, but it would be interesting to the fans if the idea would entertain.
That’s what I was afraid of. I had a very bad feeling about the Dubois-Parker battle as soon as it was announced, and it seems to be good.
