“He’s a Beast” Joseph Parker Predicts Anthony Joshua-Daniel Dubois
The heavyweight division is as busy as it has been for years right now and, in the wake of Daniel Dubois‘s latest win, Joseph Parker has assessed his chances against Anthony Joshua should the two fight later in the year.
Parker himself is coming off the back of two big wins, first again Deontay Wilder back in December then Zhilei Zhang in March. Dubois also got a determined win against Jarrell Miller in December before backing it up with a career-best stoppage victory against Filip Hrgovic on the Matchroom versus Queensbury card on June 1.
He is now the interim IBF title holder and has been named as the mandatory for a shot at the full belt, held by undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk, though it is expected that the belt will become vacant and that he could well fight Joshua for it in September.
Ahead of that potential all-British showdown, Parker has spoken to Seconds Out about who might come out on top.

“Listen if they do collide in September, Wembley Stadium, I see Dubois being the underdog. He looked very good against Hrgovic but Joshua is the favourite going into that fight. We’ll see what he can bring to a bigger and better challenge.”
“I feel he will need to bring more concentration, more variety of punches, just a bit more movement, a bit more punch variety. Joshua is a beast and looked very good in his last two fights so I feel Dubois needs to bring a lot more than he did against Hrgovic.”
Joshua has also put together an impressive run of back-to-back knockout wins over Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou in the last year.
