- Daniel Dubois was ready to defend his fib heavyweight title on Saturday at Riad
- Despite being forced to withdraw Dubois, he is now ready for a great confrontation
Daniel Dubois got up from his albadment bed and entered directly into the Mega-Millions negotiations to fight Oleksandr Usyk for the world's indisputable heavyweight championship.
Talk about landing on your feet!
When Dynamite Daniel was medically advised to withdraw from the defense of his IBF title against Joseph Parker, he suffered losses greater than 7 million of the Bonanza bag on Saturday more months of expenses in his training camp.
And the cynics began to ruminate that he had crouched Parker!
The credible conversations here in the new capital of the Fight of the World Cup refer to a change of the plan for Usyk to fight against the winner between Dubois and Parker.
Now, the Big Time Boxing Saudi Paymasters provides that Dubois and Usyk provide the opening of the gala in October of the next season of Riad's sport, culture and entertainment.

In a stroke during the night, a concern that Dubois can temporarily derail, at least, his commitment to dissipated greatness.
Its promoter Frank Warren made this watchful observation: “Perversely, this setback with his illness is opening more tremendous opportunities for Daniel.”
Robert Smith, general secretary of the British Control Board that sanctions these huge promotions in Saudi Arabia and supported the diagnosis of the swollen glands, says: 'Daniel could not be allowed to box this weekend, but that this could facilitate it to ensure The fight with Usyk.
Then it seems. The Ukrainian teacher who became the first undisputed heavyweight world champion since Lennox Lewis has been here waiting here waiting to see Dubois and Parker decide which of them would fight below.
After seeing Parker burst the gigantic Martin Bakole balloon, the last second replacement for Dubois, Usyk made it clear that he would not mind waiting a few months before restoring the FIB belt to his collection and banking another fortune. He said: 'I am enjoying my rest with my family since I hit Tyson (Fury) again (only nine weeks ago).
'I plan only two more fights to finish my career. Yes, only two. I thought Joseph could win here, but if Daniel is going to be next, that's fine.
That is your second meeting. Usyk arrested Dubois in the ninth round in Poland in August 2023, leaving Team Dynamite complaining that a body shot that he dropped him earlier in the fight should not have been a low blow.
Parker is the most harmed party now. When Dubois retired on Thursday, he was forced to go through another giant road block instead of fighting for a world title.

Bakole did not arrive from his homeland of the Congo until Saturday morning and, although he would accommodate more than 300 pounds overweight, Parker was advised not to accept this problematic and threatening monster as a replacement.
A proud Guerrero of Samoa in his bloodline, this former reborn world champion Kiwi and one of the most pleasant boxers in the old hard game said: 'To the devil. I will deal with him. Then he did. Landing a warning save from the first bell. Absorbing three or four strong clubbings. Then, knocking Bakole in the second round as King Kong from the top of Empire State Building. With a right blow at the top of the temple that reminds the so -called Phantom Punch with which Muhammad Ali knocked out the fearsome Sonny Liston in his second fight.
Job made brilliantly, Parker said: 'Correct. So where is my fight for the world title now? It is not against the Daniel Boy in London, it seems. But he raised an important question. Is Usyk V Dubois for the undisputed title or the unification of three of the four championship belts?
The WBC, WBA and IBF are unison. But the OMB decided on the weekend that the winner of Dubois and Parker will be the mandatory challenger for his credit. If Parker will be squeezed from the main equation, his best resource will be to fight another person for what would be the vacancy belt.
That is the least deserves, it even accelerates the rupture of the indisputable regime.
