In a fight where both can cause damage and neither are regarded as defensive maestros, we might see the referee count out a few times throughout the fight. Parker has the added benefit of working with Fury in the lead-up to this fight. He will have a few tricks up his sleeve and a decent idea of how he can trouble Wilder and put himself in a position to cause an upset. If Wilder is forced to use it defensively, he’s less likely to lower it to a level where he can throw one of his lethal right hooks. Deontay Wilder ($1.16) is famous for his punching power and a genuine world champion. However, he has fought just one round since losing to Tyson Fury for a second time back in October 2021.

• Dubois looked at his corner and attempted to get back to his feet but the referee waved the fight off as the crowd exploded in celebration.
• There is also a betting option for most punches thrown, and we’re confidently backing Usyk.
• “There’s so many possibilities, but until we hear from him and the team and know what actually happened with him, there’s always gonna be speculation.”
• There is a good chance Wallin frustrates Joshua into mistakes late if he picks up a few rounds early.

There is a good chance Wallin frustrates Joshua into mistakes usyk vs dubois 2 late if he picks up a few rounds early. Wallin isn’t a big name in boxing, but is one some will recognise after his bout with Tyron Fury in September 2019. It’s the only loss on Wallin’s record and worth noting that Fury required 47 stitches above his eye following the fight. Leaving Fury a bloody mess suggests the Swedish heavyweight has plenty of power behind him to be interested in his $10.50 to win by KO/TKO.

‘No real proof’: Joseph Parker remains in the dark after ‘weird’ Daniel Dubois withdrawal

Dubois was due to defend the IBF heavyweight title against Parker on Saturday, but the champion was pulled from the fight on two days’ notice due to illness. That led Bakole to step in, as the “most-avoided” heavyweight fights Parker in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It’s the biggest heavyweight boxing fight in years as Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk fight for the unified heavyweight championship.

Meanwhile, Joseph Parker ($5) has fought three times this year alone. Albeit against much lower opposition, Parker has ended the last two by knockout having not done so since 2020. With a professional record of 36-3, including 24 knockouts, Parker remains one of the best heavyweights on the planet and someone who is continuing to improve. “I honestly have no idea who would be next. I would fight anyone and everyone to get my chance to fight for the championship of the world.” Joseph Parker has revealed he still has “no idea” why Daniel Dubois pulled out of their heavyweight world title fight, placing the Kiwi star’s future in limbo.

Zorro could cause an upset on the judge’s scorecards ($26) if he hurts Opetaia early and works the body from there. However, the more likely scenario is that Opetaia looks to use this opportunity on a stacked card to put his name in lights and put this one to bed early. Already a big unit, age could catch up with Miller before he knows it.

At a press conference on Thursday, New Zealand’s Parker said he would stay on Saturday’s card, regardless of who he would fight. It was later announced that Congolese boxer Bakole, 31, would step in. Jai Opetaia, the exciting Aussie fighter, was forced to vacate his IBF World cruiserweight title to take the payday against Ellis Zorro.
