Former world champion Joseph Parker challenges Daniel Dubois for the IBF heavyweight title on February 22. Parker is confident, but trainer Shane McGuigan predicts an early Dubois stoppage. McGuigan highlights Dubois' ferocious punching power and Parker's vulnerability to his jab, while super-heavyweight Olympian Delicious Orie tips Parker to win by wearing down Dubois.
Daniel Dubois could subject Joseph Parker to an early onslaught that the former world champion may not be able to endure. Parker, a previous holder of the WBO heavyweight title, challenges Britain's Dubois for his IBF championship on February 22, live on Sky Sports Box Office. Parker is confident that he can take Dubois to breaking point. But the New Zealander has been warned he might not reach the second half of the fight himself.
'He didn't give AJ the respect. He just went and let his hands go,' McGuigan reflected. 'Daniel also had hurt him sparring, when he was 17 or 18 years of age. So the last time they were in the ring together Daniel landed a decent shot against him. I don't think he knocked him out or anything but he landed a decent shot and hurt him and I think he had that in the back of his head thinking: 'When I was 17, 18, I got a good effect in sparring.
