Daniel Dubois could repeat Anthony Joshua then or fight Oleksandr usyk for the undisputed title, says Frank Warren | Boxing news

Daniel Dubois lost a global defense when the disease prevented him from boxing Joseph Parker, with supporter Frank Warren now looking at alternative battles.

Parker instead will face Martin Bakole at Undercard of Artur Beterbiev Vs Dmitry Bivol 2, Live On Box of Sky Sports.

Dubois himself will not remain in Riyadh and will soon travel home.

“Obviously very disappointed. He’s very disappointed. Frank Warren’s supporter said Sports Friday.

“People do not understand in boxing. Boxer pays for his camp, compatriot collaborators … It is very expensive.

“The last race, had a little tonsillitis the last time. I don’t know what it is.

“The most important thing is that he can’t fight. We didn’t pull him out – we were not happy for his fight – the Board of Directors said you can’t fight.”

Robert Smith, Secretary General of the British Boxing Board of Control, said Sports: “He was sick. I have a medical report, the child was sick, he can’t be kidding. The doctor said he couldn’t be a box, he can’t be tired, end of the story.”

Warren reflects: “It’s a frustration, it’s boxing, I look and think about how he influenced Derek Chisora ​​when Klitschko took out (days) before.

“We are in this situation before.”

Dubois remains the world champion of IBF heavyweight heavyweight and actually has so many, if not more, options as he had before.

He is now expected to carry for the next three months, he could go straight to a rematch with Unified WBO, WBC and WBA champion Oleksandr usyk for the undisputed heavy heavyweight world title.

But Anthony Joshua could also complain about a shot on Dubois, who hit him to defend the IBF zone in September.

“I feel that the perverted thing than this is that we have more choice now,” Warren added.

“I would like to see the rematch with USYK. This is an option, if it can be done, I would like this.

“But then we have Joe Parker. We have AJ, who has taken over his injury and maybe he wants to do it now with the fact that he was sick, who knows?”

USYK and Joshua will be both present in Saturday’s race, an opportunity for talks to start.

“We will take a look and see. They are all here. No doubt we will see and discuss,” Warren said.

“This is all we do. This is a concentration of tribes.

‘Aj would love another crack’

Candidate Eddie Hearn said in the past Sports that he believed that Joshua, who was a former owner of the IBF zone, could go straight to a match with Dubois for this title, saying: “This is what Aj wants. He wants to fight for the heavyweight world title. First priority.

“At this stage it is to try to become a triple heavyweight world champion. He missed this opportunity for the last time and he would love another crack.”
