Dubois to defend IBF title against Joseph Parker in Saudi Arabia

British heavyweight Daniel Dubois will defend his IBF world title against Joseph Parker in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on February 22.

Dubois, 27, returns to the ring after a dominant first defence of his IBF belt, where he knocked out British rival Anthony Joshua in just five rounds at Wembley Stadium in September.

Parker, 32, held the WBO title from 2016 to 2018 before losing a unanimous decision to Joshua.

The New Zealander shocked the boxing world with a win over former WBC champion Deontay Wilder last year, and in March, he claimed the WBO interim title by defeating Zhilei Zhang.
