Daniel Dubois proved his worth as the IBF heavyweight world champion with a stunning win over Anthony Joshua.
Dubois got elevated to full IBF champion when Oleksandr Usyk gave up the belt. People didn't give him much of a chance against Joshua, but he flipped the script right away. He bullied the more experienced fighter and stopped him in the fifth round.
Dubois knocked Joshua down three times before the fight ended. It's not clear who he'll fight next, but plenty of boxers want a shot at his belt.
Tony Bellew, a former cruiserweight world champion, shared his thoughts on who Dubois should fight next. He talked to Instant Casino about it.
"As for his next step forward, if Anthony Joshua doesn't take an immediate rematch, I think there's only one person in the world of boxing who deserves that shot at Daniel Dubois, and I think that's Joseph Parker."
Bellew thinks Parker deserves the shot because of his recent fights.
"Nobody in the heavyweight division has taken the people on that Joseph Parker has, nobody. Joseph Parker has faced two bogeymen who no one wants to go near back-to-back. He fought Deontay Wilder and literally beat him up. And then he went in with Zhilei Zhang against all the doubters. Listen, I thought he'd lose twice. I told him that, I was working with him on Saturday."
Parker, trained by Andy Lee, bounced back from a loss to Joe Joyce. He beat Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang, which surprised many people. The former world champion wants to win a title again, but he might have to fight Zhang one more time first.
