Oleksandr Usyk’s next fight: Anthony Joshua, Daniel Dubois, Agit Kabayel – who next for world champion?
According to Frank Warren of Queensberry, the heavyweight was destroyed and evacuated by Parker’s turn. That was Dubois’ second defense, and he should have made a wallet. Of course he had to keep his belt.
But when one door is closed, the other may have been open to Dubois.
We had thought that if he beat Parker, he would have a rematch with Usyk. Given the boxing schedule and recovery time, it may have been waiting, but now the next battle for the British may be an undisputed meeting with 38-year-old Usk.
There is currently no mandatory challenger for Dubois’s IBF champion, and he is still free to choose his next opponent, which Usyk has said he wants to do.
It would be heartbreaking for Parker, 33, who spent nearly seven years back in the world championship battle.
Bakole, who is ranked third in the IBF, will fight Efe Ajagba on May 2, but the battle is now doubtful after his second round suspension to Parker.
