February twenty second Deliberate Card
- Daniel Dubois vs. Joseph Parker
- Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol 2
- Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis vs. Vergil Ortiz Jr.
- Carlos Adames vs. Hamzah Sheeraz
- Zhilei Zhang vs. Agit Kabayel
Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) might be making his second protection of his IBF title towards the previous WBO champion Parker (35-3, 23 KOs). Daniel knocked Joshua within the fifth spherical in entrance of an enormous crowd at Wembley Stadium in a four-knockdown efficiency.
Going from preventing Joshua to the defensive specialist Parker, 33, might be an enormous letdown for Dubois. Hopefully, the build-up to the battle might be fascinating.
This might be a unique sort of take a look at for the 27-year-old Dubois, who must clear up the defensive model that Parker has adopted within the final couple of years. Dubois has the youth, energy, work fee, and stamina to chop off the ring on Parker and knock him out.
Apparently, the principle occasion for the February twenty second card may have the Dubois vs. Parker battle moderately than the rematch between undisputed gentle heavyweight champion Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KOs) and Bivol (23-1, 12 KOs). Nonetheless, the earlier Beterbiev-Bivol battle on October twelfth wasn’t that thrilling because of the motion and clinching that Bivol was doing all the battle.
That made it very boring, and the rematch will seemingly be much more so. Bivol has already mentioned he plans to maneuver extra within the second battle, which received’t be enjoyable to observe. He lacks the ability and the chin to face and battle Beterbiev, so transferring is all he can do.
There’s a possible battle between Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Vergil Ortiz that might be on the February twenty second card. However with the way in which Hearn was speaking in an interview at the moment, it doesn’t sound seemingly these two might be preventing. Hearn talked about that the battle can be at 147, and there’s little likelihood that Vergil will have the ability to boil right down to make it occur.
In one other battle on the cardboard, WBC middleweight champion Carlos Adames (24-1, 18 KOs) will defend towards Hamzah Sheeraz (21-0, 17 KOs).
