Eddie Hearn explains why Joseph Parker will beat world champion Daniel Dubois

Fight week is underway in Riyadh for arguably the greatest fight card in the history of boxing. 

Named 'The Last Crescendo', the card will see four world title fights take place this Saturday on DAZN PPV, and one of those is for the IBF heavyweight title. 

In this particular contest, defending champion Daniel Dubois will take on former world titleholder Joseph Parker with both men enjoying the best periods of their respective careers so far.

Dubois is riding high at the heavyweight division's top table after dismantling Anthony Joshua in September, while Parker has beaten former WBC champion Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang under the watchful eyes of head trainer Andy Lee. 

With two fighters at the peak of their powers, many are struggling to make a prediction, but when speaking to The Stomping Ground, promoter Eddie Hearn explained why he believes Parker will triumph in Riyadh. 

"I really like Daniel Dubois; I think he’s hilarious as well. He’s got so much more to give in terms of people getting to know him," Hearn said. 

"When you achieve what he’s achieved, it can go one or two ways. Your head could fall off, you’ve gone to Brazil for a few months, you’re absolutely caked, or you excel. You go to another level, either could happen.

"I don’t think his head’s fallen off, I just think Joe has got the mentality and timing of where he’s at right now in his life to win this fight.

"I love Joe, I think he’s going to do it."
