Boxing fans will have their eyes firmly locked on the Saudi Arabian super card on Saturday night.
Undisputed light heavyweight king Artur Beterbiev will rematch Dmitry Bivol in a four-belt main event.
However, Daniel Dubois features in an arguably even more intriguing fight on the undercard.
The IBF heavyweight champion will put his title on the line against Joseph Parker in a clash to determine Oleksandr Usyk’s next challenger.
Daniel Dubois vs Joseph Parker predicted by simulation
Boxing fans are known for trying to predict big fight results by simulating the bouts on video games.
Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul was supposed to end in a 75-second KO, according to one fan simulation.
That fight ended up going the eight-round distance, so it’s safe to say they aren’t always accurate.
Still, it’s become a custom to see a video game simulation go viral in the days before a big fight.
Dubois vs Parker is exactly that. So, naturally, their fight has recently been predicted by a Fight Night Champion user.
If it’s correct, the heavyweight duo will win two rounds each during the first 12 minutes of their fight.
Dubois will edge himself into the lead by scoring a big knockdown in the fifth frame before the IBF title clash settles back into the rhythm that it started with.
More rounds will be swapped before a new champion is crowned after two ninth-round knockdowns.
Ultimately, Parker landed a massive right hand through the guard to leave his rival out cold on the canvas.
Daniel Dubois sent pre-fight warning
Dubois isn’t known as ‘Dynamite’ for no reason, Anthony Joshua attests to that after their fight last year.
That being said, Lawrence Okolie insists Parker won’t be intimidated by this due to his recent resume.
In his past couple of fights, the New Zealander has overcome boxing’s biggest punchers, Zhang Zhilei and Deontay Wilder, to give himself the chance to become a two-time heavyweight world champion.
“I think Dubois should be a bit too strong and intense and sort of be able to break him down,” the former cruiserweight and bridgerweight champion explained. “But we’ve seen him beat two of the other biggest punchers in the heavyweight division in Zhang and Wilder.
“So Parker has got experience with really big punchers and negating it and surviving knockdowns and still going and getting wins so if there’s someone who can do it, I think that it is him so, tough one.
