Daniel Dubois' Title Fight Against Joseph Parker At Risk Due to Illness

Daniel Dubois' IBF heavyweight title defense against Joseph Parker is in jeopardy due to Dubois falling ill, with medical evaluations currently underway. The fight, scheduled for Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, could be called off if he is unable to compete, prompting promoters to seek a replacement. This situation follows a recent incident where Floyd Schofield had to withdraw from his fight against Shakur Stevenson due to health concerns. The card remains highly anticipated, featuring a rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol as the main event. Experts emphasize the significance of this bout for Dubois, as a victory could solidify his status in heavyweight boxing, while a loss would jeopardize his career prospects. The fight card, dubbed 'the fight card of the century,' faces mounting challenges as more fighters encounter health issues leading up to the event.
