Daniel Dubois

  • Current IBF heavyweight champion. Former WBA Regular, WBC Silver, and WBO Global champion.

  • 24 fights, 22 wins, 2 losses.

As an underdog, Dubois stunned Anthony Joshua to win the title. Against Parker, the champion promises to put on an equally impressive performance, as he now has no doubt that he will run over any opponent in the division.  

He’ll also feint often to force Parker into defensive movements, creating openings for his signature overhand right. Additionally, short, punishing body shots will wear down Parker, setting up head strikes as he tries to slip punches.

Joseph Parker

  • Interim WBO World Champion. Former WBO World Champion, OPBF Champion, and New Zealand Heavyweight Champion.

  • 38 fights, 35 wins, 3 losses.

During the training camp, Joseph did not even celebrate Christmas with his family, and on his birthday he did two standard training sessions. According to the New Zealander, it was not difficult, because he likes training - the fighter is ready to give himself to the process completely.

Parker will aim to disrupt Dubois with quick double and triple punches, followed by a power cross to the body or head. He’ll rely on deep slips and counters, looking for opportunities to land a lightning-fast uppercut in exchanges.

Using a steady jab to the body, Parker will disguise a powerful hook, maintaining a moderate pace before gradually increasing power and output.

Dubois vs Parker Prediction

Dubois is unlikely to engage in full-on exchanges for the entire fight, knowing Parker has strong cardio. Instead, the champion will mix slow rounds with bursts of high-pressure attacks, aiming for a knockout before the halfway mark while managing his energy levels. Parker will stay disciplined, working from mid-range and distance, waiting for Dubois to drop his guard before unloading a dangerous uppercut. It’s unlikely this fight goes the distance – expect a knockout before the ninth round.
