Daniel Dubois is set to defend his IBF heavyweight world title against Joseph Parker on February 22. Dubois had previously become the IBF’s Interim titlist before being upgraded to full world champion when Oleksandr Usyk vacated the title to have a rematch with Tyson Fury. Dubois solidified his status as a world champion with a knockout victory over Anthony Joshua in September.
Parker, a former world champion himself, has been working towards another title shot with impressive wins over top fighters. The upcoming fight promises to be an exciting matchup between two skilled heavyweights.
In addition to the Dubois vs. Parker fight, the card will also feature a rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, who are both top light-heavyweight world champions. British light-heavyweights Joshua Buatsi and Callum Smith will also face off for the WBO Interim title.
The event will also include fights for the WBC Interim heavyweight and middleweight titles, as well as a defence of the WBC lightweight belt. Fans can catch all the action live on Sky Sports Box Office on February 22.
