Joseph Parker (35-3, 23 KOs) believes he is two weeks away from regaining his world heavyweight title. On February 22, his opponent will be IBF champion Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs).

"If our meeting works out well for him, he'll keep fighting, but if it proves to be long and difficult, he'll find a way to somehow get out of it and refuse to continue. So I will have to box according to a set tactical plan. I'm not looking too far into the future and just focusing on the fight ahead. He's already talking about a rematch with Usyk, and that's a mistake," believes the New Zealander, who held the WBO title in 2016-18.
