Daniel Dubois remains betting favorite to beat Joseph Parker in February boxing fight
Current undisputed IBF heavyweight champion, Daniel Dubois remains a distinct betting favorite to defeat former gold holder, Joseph Parker ahead of their pairing next month in the Middle East — with both conceivably eyeing a title clash with Ukrainian star, Usyk later this year.
Dubois, the current IBF heavyweight titleholder, makes his return to the ring in search of his second successful title defense, having most recently taken out common-foe and former two-time world heavyweight champion, Joshua.
As for Kiwi veteran, Parker the fan-favorite contender is in the midst of an impressive run of five fight winning spree, most recently adding Zhilei Zhang to a prior decision win over veteran former WBC heavyweight champion and knockout artist, Wilder.

However, ahead of their February 22. pairing in Saudi Arabia, Dubois is closing as a sizeable -250 betting favorite to beat Parker — who is currently boasting +180 betting underdog odds with fans of casino and betting able to fins the best odds and poker games at the link provided above.
Himself fighting Usyk back in 2023 in a title showdown, Londoner, Dubois suffered an eventual ninth round knockout loss to the former undisputed heavyweight champion, in a bout which was packed full of controversy, however.
Appearing to land a body-crippling blow on Usyk in the rounds prior to his stoppage loss, Dubois’ well-timed shot was judged to have landed on the belt line of the Ukrainian — with a would-be knockdown overturned to an illegal groin strike.
However, in the time since, Dubois has turned in a trio of impressive knockout victories, stopping Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic, as well as compatriot and former world champion, Joshua.
And following Usyk’s title rematch win over former WBC heavyweight kingpin, Tyson Fury just last month, Dubois gatecrashed the former’s post-fight interview — controversially demanding a rematch with the former undisputed world champion.
I wouldn’t let him (Oleksandr Usyk) off the hook next time,” Daniel Dubois said at the Ring Magazine awards. He got away lucky last time. “I need to right that wrong and get my revenge. But first things first is Joseph Parker, all eyes are on him.”
And stood in front of Usyk in the ring following the former’s decision win over Fury, Dubois claimed he wanted to avenge his prior loss to the former two years ago, saying he would exact his “revenge”.
“I want my revenge! I want my revenge, Usyk,” Daniel Dubois said. “Well done tonight. God bless, but I want my revenge. Let’s get it! Let’s go.”
Himself previously dropping losses to the trio of Anthony Joshua, Dillian Whyte, and common-opponent, Joe Joyce — whom handed Dubois his first professional boxing loss to boot, New Zealand striker, Parker has racked up prior triumphs over the likes of Francois Botha, Carlos Takam, Andy Ruiz Jr., Hughie Fury, as well as twice beating two-fight rival, Derek Chisora.
Seeing his unbeaten professional record come to a crashing halt back in 2020, Dubois would headline a card in his native London against the above-mentioned, Joyce, with the then-uber prospect in a penultimate round knockout loss.
