Summary at a Glance

Floyd Schofield’s father has shared footage of his son in hospital after he was pulled from his fight just days from the opening bell on Saturday night following claims his son was ‘poisoned’.

Schofield had been set for his first world title fight up against Stevenson, already a three-weight world champion at the age of 27 and regarded as one of the best in the business.

Dubois defends his IBF heavyweight title against former world champion Parker in his first fight since demolishing Anthony Joshua last year.

Schofield, 22, was scheduled to fight American sensation Shakur Stevenson for the WBC lightweight title on the stacked card in Saudi Arabia this weekend.

Saturday’s card will be headlined by the rematch between Beterbiev and Bivol, with the former sealing a narrow win in their first meeting last October.
