IBF heavyweight champion Dubois set to clash with Parker in Saudi Arabia
British heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois will defend his IBF world title against New Zealand’s Joseph Parker on February 22, 2025, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The 27-year-old Dubois makes his return to the ring following a stunning first title defense in September, where he knocked out Anthony Joshua in the fifth round at Wembley Stadium.
Joseph Parker, a seasoned heavyweight, held the WBO title from 2016 to 2018 before losing it to Joshua in a unanimous decision.
Now, he seeks to reclaim glory in what promises to be a high-stakes clash in the Middle East.
This matchup not only pits two of the division’s top talents against each other but also highlights the growing role of Saudi Arabia as a major hub for global boxing events.
The 32-year-old New Zealander upset former WBC champion Deontay Wilder last year before beating Zhilei Zhang to win the WBO interim title in March.
