Fight Preview

All eyes will be on the heavyweight division this weekend, as a major showdown between Joseph Parker and Daniel Dubois is set for the IBF title. There will be a lot on the line for both stars, with Parker aiming to continue his excellent recent form, and become a major champion for the first time since 2018.

Dubois will be the defending champion this weekend, and the Brit already has his sights set on bigger targets, with a potential undisputed showdown with Oleksandr Usyk on his radar. The Brit controversially lost against the reigning champion in 2023, but has looked like a transformed competitor since that defeat.

Dubois was always set for bright things in the ring, having won five National Junior British championships before turning pro. Dynamite has won 21 of his 24 fights by knockout, which included a stunning dismantling of Anthony Joshua last year, scoring a dominant win in the fifth round at Wembley Stadium.

However, the Brit will be wary of Parker’s ability in the ring. The New Zealander has been in excellent form across the last two years, beating Deontay Wilder by unanimous decision, before dominating against Zhilei Zhang to win the WBO interim gold in March of last year. This could be Parker’s final opportunity to win a world championship.


Daniel Dubois vs. Joseph Parker Picks

This is a fascinating showdown. Parker has already combatted KO specialists in recent years, tactically dominating against Wilder in 2023. However, this looks like a completely different challenge against Dubois, who is still improving in the ring. A rare KO defeat could be suffered by the Kiwi in Saudi Arabia this weekend.

  • Daniel Dubois via KO/TKO
