The future opponent of the Ukrainian will be determined in a fight scheduled for February 22 in Riyadh, as reported by Sports.kz.
This was officially stated by British promoter Frank Warren in an interview with Sky Sports. The head of Queensbury Promotions, who manages Dubois, emphasized that Usyk is currently the best boxer in the heavyweight division, while his charge and Parker are next in line after Tyson Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) announced his retirement.
Usyk is the number one heavyweight in the world, a holder of three belts. With Tyson Fury retired, the number one and number two are fighting each other. These are the next two best heavyweights in the world who will step into the ring together and compete for the chance to unify belts in a bout against Usyk. The winner of the Dubois vs. Parker fight will take it all. The loser will be very, very disappointed. It's going to be an amazing fight,
