Daniel Dubois will take on Joseph Parker in the next defence of his IBF heavyweight world title on February 22, according to Sky Sports.
In June this year, Dubois became the IBF’s Interim titlist, when he defeated Filip Hrgovic in June.
He was then upgraded to full world champion after Oleksandr Usyk’s rematch with Tyson Fury was set for December 21.
This meant Fury had to vacate that belt.
Dubois then knocked Anthony Joshua out inside five rounds at Wembley Stadium in September.
Parker is a former world champion himself and has been pressing for another title shot with a sequence of eye-catching victories, notably upsetting hard-punching former WBC champion Deontay Wilder last year and then outpointing Zhilei Zhang to win the WBO Interim title.
