Details on Daniel Dubois’s recent illness have finally been shared, with his father discussing the heavyweight champion’s withdrawal from a fight with Joseph Parker – and his next move.
After stopping Bakole, Parker called out unified champion Oleksandr Usyk, while some felt that Dubois vs Parker should be rebooked.
Dubois pulled out of a planned title defence against Joseph Parker last week, citing illness.
He had a virus, he had swollen glands and an ear infection, so the doctor told him: ‘I wouldn’t fight, if I was you.’ He said: ‘You can fight, but after three rounds, you’ll be feeling it’.
The specifics of Dubois’s condition were not revealed, while his next move was left unclear, along with Parker’s.
