Dynamite Dubois will be making the second defense of his IBF title, and for Parker this is his first title shot since losing the WBO belt in a unification bout against Anthony Joshua all the way back in 2018.
Both of these boxers are on a nice winning streak. Since being knocked out by Joe Joyce, Parker has now won five fights in a row. His two most recent victories in that streak were the biggest, where he won a 12 round unanimous decision against former long reigning WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, and Parker followed that up with a 12 round majority decision win against Zhilei Zhang. (Incidentally, Zhang will also be a part of The Fight Card of the Century, and his opponent will be undefeated heavyweight contender Agit Kabayel).
Since being knocked out by Oleksandr Usyk, Dubois has won three fights in a row, all inside the distance. First he beat Jarrell Miller by 10th round technical knockout. Next up he scored an 8th round stoppage against Filip Hrgovic, which earned Dubois the IBF interim title. Shortly after beating Hrgovic, Dubois was promoted to IBF champion after Usyk vacated the title. In his most recent bout, Dubois scored a terrific knockout victory against former two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
