Why is Daniel Dubois not fighting Joseph Parker tonight? - IBF heavyweight champion out of title defence as Martin Bakole gets late call up in Riyadh

Wardley, who is coming off his big first-round knockout of Frazer Clarke in their rematch, hopes to fight the Dubois-Parker winner for the IBF heavyweight title.

Joseph Parker defied his doubters with a demolition of Martin Bakole on Saturday, after Daniel Dubois withdrew due to illness. Dubois was due to defend the IBF heavyweight title against Parker in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but the Briton fell ill on Thursday. As such, organisers were left scrambling for a replacement on two days’ notice.
