WBO interim heavyweight titleholder Joseph Parker commented on the change of opponent for the upcoming show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Parker was scheduled to share the ring with IBF titleholder Daniel Dubois, but the latter pulled out due to health problems. He will be replaced by Martin Bakole.

"He's a real beast. I'm looking forward to fighting Martin. He's been avoided, so let's do it," Parker told YouTube channel Boxing News.
