Frank Warren in a recent interview promised a great fight for Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) in his first defense of the IBF heavyweight belt. Theoretically, there are many indications that "Dynamite's" opponent could be Agit Kabayel (25-0, 17 KOs), who turned down an eliminator against Martin Bakole (21-1, 16 KOs). The German will eventually be replaced by Zhang Zhilei (27-2-1, 22 KOs), so the pairing of the Congolese and Chinese are theoretically eliminated from the list of possible challengers.
"We are working on the agreement and bringing it to completion. We're still in the process, but I'm sure we'll get everything done. However, until the contracts are signed, I can't say anything. Daniel's next fight will be very important for him. He has captured people's imagination and everyone wants to see his next fight. Dubois' next opponent will be someone like Joseph Parker. This is someone who is known as a winner and is on Daniel's level. It's going to be a great confrontation. Parker's name is also on our list and that's the level of quality we look out for," said the British promoter.
