Usyk expects close fight between Dubois and Parker this Sunday

Ring, WBC, WBO, WBA, IBO heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk and his handlers are expecting a very close fight this coming Saturday, when Daniel Dubois defends the IBF heavyweight title against Joseph Parker in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Usyk says his team has made a prediction where 52 percent is for Dubois, 48 percent is Joseph Parker.

The winner of Dubois-Parker is a frontrunner to face Usyk later this year in a high-stakes undisputed showdown.

Parker, a former WBO world champion, is a very live dog after securing wins over dangerous contenders like Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang.

Dubois is also coming off a string of impressive wins, with stoppages of Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua.

The undisputed light heavyweight championship rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol is also happening this Sunday.
