Joseph Parker is set to fight for the IBF heavyweight title against champion Daniel Dubois on February 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, nearly a decade after winning his first world title.
Dubois, who claimed the belt with a surprise knockout victory over Anthony Joshua in September, will defend his title as the featured undercard bout before the highly anticipated Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol light heavyweight championship.
With Joshua not pursuing a rematch, Parker, who has steadily rebuilt his career since losing his title, is the next contender. Both fighters, known for their no-nonsense approach, will let their skills speak in the ring at the event dubbed “The Last Crescendo.”
