Daniel Dubois against Joseph Parker is being explored for 30 January 2027, according to Declan Taylor’s 29 October report for The Ring. The proposed venues are London’s O2 Arena or Manchester’s Co-op Live.

Dubois retained his WBO heavyweight title by stopping Fabio Wardley in their 17 October rematch. Parker is a possible next challenger, with the date and venue still subject to change.

This is a sourced report about a potential event. It does not confirm signed contracts. Our earlier Parker–Clarke briefing records another proposed route for Parker; that proposal was not a confirmed booking either.
