CLICK HERE TO BUY The Fight Card of the Century It’s a very terrific card being headlined by the undisputed light heavyweight rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.
Dynamite Dubois can be making the second defense of his IBF title, and for Parker that is his first title shot since losing the WBO belt in a unification bout against Anthony Joshua all the way in which back in 2018.
Each of those boxers are on a pleasant winning streak. Since being knocked out by Joe Joyce, Parker has now won five fights in a row. His two most up-to-date victories in that streak were the largest, 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 can even be an element of The Fight Card of the Century, and his opponent can be undefeated heavyweight contender Agit Kabayel).
Since being knocked out by Oleksandr Usyk, Dubois has won three fights in a row, all inside the space. First he beat Jarrell Miller by tenth round technical knockout. Next up he scored an eighth 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 up-to-date bout, Dubois scored a terrific knockout victory against former two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
