Daniel Dubois has revealed he is targeting an undisputed title showdown with the winner of this weekend’s rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.
Dubois will defend his IBF heavyweight title against former world champion Joseph Parker on February 22nd, and arrived into Riyadh earlier this week to scout Saturday’s clash between Usyk and Fury.
After being written off by many not too long ago, ‘Dynamite’ has been in the form of his life as of late, scoring three stoppage wins on the bounce over Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua.
There had been talk that the heavy-handed 27-year-old would jump into an immediate rematch with Joshua, however ‘AJ’ and his team poured ice on the idea.
And speaking on talkSPORT today, Dubois claimed he has his eyes set on a four belt unification against the winner of Saturday night’s rematch, should he get past Parker.
“I’m out here in Saudi Arabia, and I want the winner on Saturday night.
“I want to fight for undisputed, that’s what the game is now, that’s the goal.
“100% [I would beat them]. This is my time now. I’ve been through the ups and downs, but I’m a new man.

“I’m ready to fight for the undisputed, win it and go down in history.
“I’ve evolved and I’ve learned from my mistakes.
“The team has got it right and I’m firing on all cylinders now. Let’s go!”
Like Dubois, Parker is also a man in the best form of his career, and comes into their showdown off the back of upset wins over Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang.
The heavyweight landscape for 2025 hangs on the result of Saturday night’s epic rematch, in which three world titles are up for grabs.
Usyk hurt and dropped Fury on route to a split decision victory when they first locked horns back in May, and many feel ‘The Gypsy King’ has it all to do if he is to reverse the result.

A third fight between the pair is contractually agreed should the Morecambe man win, provided neither he or ‘The Cat’ retire after their second battle at the Kingdom Arena.
