Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker might face off in the ring soon. The heavyweight bout gained attention after Dubois knocked out Anthony Joshua in September.
Dubois defended his IBF heavyweight title against Joshua at Wembley Stadium. He stopped the former champion in the fifth round. Now, he's looking for his next opponent after Joshua declined a rematch.
Parker's career got a second wind recently. He beat Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang, impressing fans and experts alike.
Carl Froch, a former boxing champion, shared his thoughts on the potential fight. He spoke to FightHub TV about how he sees the match-up.
"If Dubois can beat Joseph Parker after the wipeout job against AJ, he really has established himself as a bona fide world champion."
Froch compared the two fighters. He said Dubois is naturally bigger and hits harder. The IBF champ has a good jab and a powerful right hand. Parker brings lots of experience to the table. He moves well, stays fit for 12 rounds, and can take a punch.
The former super-middleweight champion thinks Dubois will win. He believes Dubois' power and confidence from beating Joshua give him the edge. Froch expects Dubois to put pressure on Parker after round 5 or 6.
"Dubois beats Parker in a cracker and probably gets him out of there,"Froch predicted. But he added that if the fight goes the distance, it will be close.
This fight could be a big test for both men. Dubois wants to prove he's a top heavyweight after beating Joshua. Parker aims to show he's still a force in the division.
While fans wait for official news, one trainer claims the IBF champion is avoiding a fight with his fighter. But for now, the boxing world watches with interest to see if Dubois vs Parker becomes a reality.
