Warren Announces Dubois' Ring Return – July Fight Confirmed

Queensberry Promotions chief Frank Warren has announced that his fighter, IBF heavyweight world champion Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), is set to return to the ring this July—with three potential opponents currently under consideration.

“Daniel will definitely fight in July, but we’re still finalizing who the opponent will be. Usyk or Chisora? Actually, there are three possibilities—but I won’t reveal who just yet. Hopefully, everything will be confirmed within the next week or so,” Warren said.

Dubois himself recently named his preferred opponents: Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs), Joseph Parker (26-3, 24 KOs), Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), former unified world champion.

Dubois was originally scheduled to defend his title against Joseph Parker on February 22, but withdrew due to illness. His July return could set the stage for a major summer showdown in the heavyweight division.
