DANIEL DUBOIS' heavyweight title clash with Joseph Parker is at risk of being CALLED OFF. Dubois is reportedly sick and is being evaluated by doctors just two days before his hotly anticipated showdown in Saudi Arabia. The 27-year-old is coming off a huge knockout win over Anthony Joshua in September and is looking to defend his IBF title this weekend.

But the co-main fight is in serious jeopardy after Dubois has taken ill, according to Ring Magazine. The Brit is being assessed by a doctor in Riyadh. Reports suggest that a replacement is being pursued in case Dubois has to pull out. SunSport have contacted Dubois' team for comment.
It is the second blow to what has been billed as ‘the fight card of the century’ after Floyd Schofield was pulled from his WBC Lightweight World Title challenge against champion Shakur Stevenson. England’s Josh Padley has since flown in and will attempt a fairytale story as a huge underdog.
The card is still topped by what many deem is the best fight in boxing – a rematch between undisputed light-heavyweight world champion Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol. THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
