Daniel Dubois defends his IBF world heavyweight title against Joseph Parker on a remarkable night of boxing in Saudi Arabia this weekend. The two act as chief support on a card that also includes the rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol in Riyadh. Dubois knocked out Anthony Joshua back in September, sending shockwaves around the heavyweight division. Having beaten Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic before that, the 27-year-old is on a fine run of form.
The same could be said for Parker, however. The 33-year-old has won all five of his fights since losing to Joe Joyce in 2022, including claiming big-name scalps against Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang.
