Daniel Dubois gets ready to defend his IBF heavyweight title against Joseph Parker in a few days. The British champion will face the former WBO titleholder from New Zealand in what's shaping up to be an exciting fight.
Dubois grabbed the IBF belt last June when he knocked out Fillip Hrgovic. He then shocked everyone by beating Anthony Joshua in his first defense. Dubois went into that fight at Wembley Stadium as the underdog but managed to stop Joshua inside five rounds.
Parker, on the other hand, has been on a roll lately. The New Zealander, known for his toughness and technical skills, has picked up big wins against Zhilei Zhang and Deontay Wilder. His coach, Andy Lee, seems to have given Parker a new lease on life in the ring.
Former heavyweight contender David Price shared his thoughts on the upcoming bout with Pro Boxing Fans. Price expects Dubois to come out on top.
"I think Dubois wins that fight. He's fresher, he's younger, he's stronger, and he's been in with better opposition recently. I think he'll get the job done late on."
Price pointed out that Dubois' coach, Don Charles, has been getting the best out of the young champion. Meanwhile, Parker's work with Andy Lee has also paid off, with the Kiwi boxer showing improved form in recent fights.
The winner of this fight might get a shot at undisputed glory. Oleksandr Usyk, who currently holds the other three major heavyweight belts, could be next in line for whoever comes out on top. That potential clash for all the marbles might happen later in 2025.
With both fighters in top form and so much at stake, fans can expect an action-packed bout. Dubois will look to cement his status as champion, while Parker aims to reclaim world title glory. It's all set for an unforgettable night of heavyweight boxing.
