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 combating Joshua to the defensive specialist Parker, 33, might be an enormous letdown for Dubois. Hopefully, the build-up to the struggle might be fascinating.
This might be a special kind of check for the 27-year-old Dubois, who should clear up the defensive fashion that Parker has adopted within the final couple of years. Dubois has the youth, energy, work price, and stamina to chop off the ring on Parker and knock him out.
Apparently, the primary occasion for the February twenty second card might have the Dubois vs. Parker struggle quite than the rematch between undisputed gentle heavyweight champion Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KOs) and Bivol (23-1, 12 KOs). Nevertheless, the earlier Beterbiev-Bivol struggle on October twelfth wasn’t that thrilling because of the motion and clinching that Bivol was doing the complete struggle.
That made it very boring, and the rematch will seemingly be much more so. Bivol has already stated he plans to maneuver extra within the second struggle, which received’t be enjoyable to look at. He lacks the facility and the chin to face and struggle Beterbiev, so shifting is all he can do.
There’s a possible struggle between Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Vergil Ortiz that could possibly be on the February twenty second card. However with the way in which Hearn was speaking in an interview at this time, it doesn’t sound seemingly these two might be combating. Hearn talked about that the struggle can be at 147, and there’s little probability that Vergil will be capable of boil right down to make it occur.
In one other struggle on the cardboard, WBC middleweight champion Carlos Adames (24-1, 18 KOs) will defend towards Hamzah Sheeraz (21-0, 17 KOs).
