Parker: If the fight gets tough, Dubois will mentally quit

Joseph Parker believes IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois might leave mentally if the fight would be too difficult for him in Riyadh on February 22nd.

He considers DuBois (22-2, 21 Kos) the type of fighter who is fine when he is in good health, but falls apart when faced with resistance and adversity.

Quitters mentality?

Parker (35-3, 23 Kos) accurately describes the psychological profile of Dubois (22-2, 21 Kos). I have both I learned to feel helpless And they lack confidence when dealing with combat situations that go against themKitter Mentality.

I saw Dubois quit against Oleksandr Usyk and Joe Joyce.

It’s very likely that DuBois is in line with the entire contest with 33-year-old Parker, so it may not matter that DuBois is unable to handle the stress of the tough fight. DuBois, 27, is at the height of his career, is away from AJ’s huge five-round knockouts, and if he lands a shot, he will destroy Prker within two or three rounds. It’s done.

The mental fortitude was questioned

“If that’s too difficult, he’ll look for a way out. But if it’s going his way, he’ll continue,” Joseph Parker said. Sky Sports Boxing Regarding his beliefs, Daniel Dubois could end up mentally on February 22nd if the fight was too difficult for him.

“It’s my job to go out and offset what he brings my game plan and follows. In boxing, they always try to set up a big fight in the future. He’ll set it up. If that’s the case, he has to pass me first,” Parker said.

Parker won his final five fights and looked good, but he’s not fighting anyone on DuBois’ level. Parker defeated 41-year-old Zhilei Zhang and 39-year-old Deontay Wilder in their final two fights. Zhang would have easily won if he didn’t gas out after five rounds. He dropped Parker in rounds 3 and 8 with a shot.

However, Zhang was too heavy at 291 pounds and too heavy to maintain all sorts of pace in the fight, allowing Parker to win a close majority victory of 12 rounds. I watched the fight and Chan won, but the judges liked Parker’s activities. He was more energetic of the two.

Parker’s fragile chin may betray him against Parker if he can land some big shots on him early in the contest. The punches that got Joshua into trouble in the first round against DuBois would be too many for Parker.
