Daniel Dubois has vowed to produce a “demolition job” on Joseph Parker and insists he wants to fight Oleksandr Usyk next.
Dubois will put his IBF heavyweight title on the line for the first time since knocking out Anthony Joshua at Wembley in September when he takes on Parker in Saudi Arabia on February 22.
And the London fighter has already eyed an undisputed showdown with Usyk, who handed him his second professional defeat in the summer of 2023.
“It’s all about making noise,” Dubois told TNT Sports when asked about his public call out to Usyk following the Ukraine fighter’s rematch win over Tyson Fury last month.
“This is show business. That’s who I want next (Usyk) but first I have got to get through this guy.
“I’m going to do a demolition job on him and then I want Usyk next. I’m ready for it and I’m on a roll so bring them on.”
Dubois has stopped Filip Hrgovic, Jarrell Miller and Joshua in his last three fights and the 27-year-old believes his momentum will carry him through.
“I’m just on a roll, I’ll be too much, too fast and strong for him,” Dubois added. “I’m confident, I don’t need to say too much but this will be a great fight.
“I know he’s always had that nice-guy act but I know once the bell goes we’re going to try and take each other’s heads off.”
Former world champion Parker, who is also signed to Frank Warren’s Queensbury Promotions, is on a run of five successive victories, including a win over Deontay Wilder.
He will face Dubois on the undercard of Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol’s undisputed light-heavyweight rematch.
“I’m very excited to be fighting for the championship of the world for a second time. Being a two-time world champion sounds beautiful,” Parker said.
