Daniel Dubois vows to be better in Anthony Joshua rematch
According to Daniel Dubois, Anthony Joshua will be knocked out earlier if they face off in a rematch.
According to reports, Daniel Dubois will face Joseph Parker on February 22 instead of Anthony Joshua for the second defense of his IBF title.
A packed event in Saudi Arabia is anticipated to feature the heavyweight bout, which may also feature a rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol for the former's undisputed light-heavyweight title after their close fight in October.
According to renowned boxing journalist Dan Rafael, the February program would also feature a bout for the IBF welterweight belt between champion Jaron Ennis and challenger Vergil Ortiz.
Ennis just defended the red and gold title against Karen Chukhadzhian in a rematch last month.
Last but not least, he will take on a deserving opponent in Ortiz, another unbeaten fighter who just defeated Serhii Bohachuk via majority decision.
Agit Kabayel and Zhilei Zhang's all-action heavyweight bout is being considered as the fifth fight for February.
The IBF's top-ranked heavyweight, Kabayel, was initially scheduled to be Dubois' next opponent after he withdrew from a final eliminator match against Martin Bakole.
Instead, Parker is the front-runner to box Dubois, and he is being targeted for a battle with Zhang.
