Ukrainian boxers Andrei Novitsky and Igor Shevazetsky commented on the upcoming battle in the heavy division & ndash; On February 22, the Briton, winner of the IBF title Daniel Dubois, will meet with the New Zealand contender Joseph Parker:
Novitsky: & laquo; I prefer Parker & Ndash; 60/40. Although, if I am not mistaken, he scored about 10 kg for this battle. I think if he plans to take Dubois by force, then this is an erroneous strategy. If the champion does not get to the fourth round, then Joseph should win on points. It is more technical and hardy, but Dubois has a strong blow, and this is heavy weight. In any case, a very interesting battle awaits us, and I am inclined to the victory of Parker & raquo;.
Shevazetsky: & laquo; I think that Dubois can win ahead of schedule. He is powerful, motivated and inspired by the victory over Joshua. If in the first rounds Daniel will not capture the initiative and cannot knock Parker, he will be able to adapt and win on points. Such a scenario is also possible, but I am inclined to the fact that the British knocks the applicant & raquo;.
