IBF heavyweight champion, Daniel Dubois is reportedly out of his title defense against veteran Oceanic challenger, Joseph Parker this weekend in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — with the London champion falling ill in the hours before a planned press event.
Dubois, the current undisputed IBF heavyweight champion, successfully retained his championship back in September, handing former two-time heavyweight world titleholder, Anthony Joshua an eventual fifth round knockout loss in brutal fashion in London.
As for Parker, the Auckland veteran won interim WBO heavyweight spoils back in March of last year in Riyadh, turning in a majority decision win over Chinese fan-favorite, Zhilei Zhang.
