Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) has contracted a viral infection and his Saturday fight with Joseph Parker (35-3, 23 KOs) will be canceled, according to The Ring magazine. The search is underway for an opponent to replace the IBF world heavyweight champion in the fight with Parker. The candidates being considered are Lawrence Okolie (21-1, 16 KOs), David Adeleye (13-1, 12 KOs) and Tokyo (2021) Olympic quarterfinalist two-footer Murad Aliev (13-0, 10 KOs).

Just days before, Floyd Schofield also backed out of his scheduled fight with Shakur Stevenson on the same night.
