'It should be the main event!' - Daniel Dubois won't play second fiddle with Joseph Parker

But their bout - typically a closing affair on any other occasion - will play second fiddle to the undisputed light heavyweight rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.
Both men are relishing the chance to cross paths in the ring, but speaking ahead of the fight, Dubois admitted that he believes this should be the true headline encounter.
"I feel like it should be the main event," he told DAZN. "I am going to steal this show and show why I am the best. Just keep building, keep climbing all the way to the top.
"Now I'm champion, I've just got to push on now. I'm ready to fight and entertain the people. This is on now. When you're in camp , week in, week out, it doesn't feel the same."

Parker meanwhile acknowledges the bout is one of the biggest of his career, but is determined to ensure regardless of where he fights, the occasion does not overwhelm him.
"I just want to go out there and perform," he said. "I just want to go out there, and showcase a great display of boxing. I respect the position I'm in.
"But there is still a lot of work to be done. I know there's big fights out there, big names and other belts, but none of that matters unless we get this right.
"The opportunity to fight on this card, and to fight for the championship of the world, and to be here with my team, I am ready to perform."
