Carl Froch Delivers a Definitive Final Forecast for the Upcoming Bout of Daniel Dubois Against Joseph Parker.
. With only a few days left, Carl Froch has evaluated the eagerly anticipated world title bout between Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker. This heavyweight fight is featured on one of the most remarkable fight cards ever put together, highlighted by the rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dimitry Bivol. This rematch takes place just four months after Beterbiev secured his status as the undisputed light heavyweight world champion with a narrow points decision.
Just prior to the September contest, Dubois firmly established himself as one of the leading heavyweights of his generation by delivering a knockout victory over former two-time world champion Anthony Joshua in just five rounds at Wembley Stadium in the UK.
On the other hand, Parker has been enjoying the most successful stretch of his career, having defeated Deontay Wilder at the end of 2023, followed by a hard-fought victory in June 2024 where he outpointed Zhilei Zhang over 12 rounds, despite being knocked down twice during the match.
The two fighters are now set to compete for the IBF world title, with many observers viewing this matchup as a clash between Dubois’s formidable power and Parker’s more versatile boxing skills.
Speaking on his own Froch on Fighting, ‘The Cobra’ only sees it going one way.
“I think Daniel Dubois is going to do the job. I think Joseph Parker is a great character, I think a lot of him as a character, I think he’s great, but this is boxing, I tell the f****ing truth as you know. Daniel Dubois is gunna demolish him inside the distance. I think it’s going to be a great fight.”
