Daniel Dubois takes on Joseph Parker on February 22nd.
The British heavyweight is making the second defence of his IBF heavyweight title having scored a sensational knockout of Anthony Joshua in September.
In Parker he finds an opponent who himself is in great form having won five fights in a row including wins of Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang respectively.
Former cruiserweight world champion, Tony Bellew, believes Parker could pull off the upset if he survives an early onslaught from Dubois.

Speaking to talkSPORT he said: “It’s a top, top fight, I think the first three or four rounds are key.
“If Joe can see through them I think he gets the job done, but Daniel Dubois is in a rich vein of form.
“He [Dubois] rolls the dice every time, he lets his hands go and has no fear at the moment.
“But I just think if Joseph Parker has been diligent in his camp, he can get the job done.
“He’s a better boxer, he’s got more skills and skillset, but he isn’t as powerful as Dubois.
“Also he isn’t as young as Daniel Dubois and youth can catch up with you.
“Dubois is so strong and lets his hands go, a lot of the heavyweights are cautious about it.”
The winner could be next to face Ukrainian, Oleksandr Usyk, in another undisputed title clash.
