IBF belt holder Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) said that he is not too interested in a fight against title challenger Dereck Chisora (36-13, 23 KOs).
“I'm not too keen on fighting Chisora in that sense, but of course, why not? You know, I prefer Parker, Usyk and AJ, those guys, the top names. But I think I'd take it as a comeback fight or something like that.”
“The Parker fight is unfinished business. I'm going to have to do it and get it out of the way to shut some people up. But if there's a bigger fight against Usyk first, I'll do it.”

The International Boxing Federation (IBF) has decided to give Dubois a mandatory fight against fellow countryman Dereck Chisora, the organization's No. 2 contender. The fight will be officially confirmed on April 22, with a deadline of June 21.
At the same time, Dubois' potential unification fight against WBO/WBC/WBA/IBO heavyweight title holder Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) will take precedence over the mandatory.
