The event will take place in Saudi Arabia
British heavyweight Daniel Dubois (20-2, 19 KOs) will fight in the summer against the mandatory challenger for the IBF heavyweight title Filip Hrgovic (17-0, 14 KOs).
The fight is scheduled to take place on June 1 in Saudi Arabia. On the same day, a fight between WBC, WBO and IBF champion Artur Beterbiev against WBO champion Dmitry Bivol for the title of absolute light heavyweight champion is scheduled to take place.
Dubois knocked out Jarrell Miller in December 2023 at the Day of Reckoning boxing event. Before this, in August, Daniel had a fight with Alexander Usyk in Wroclaw at the Tarczynski Arena. In the ninth round, the Ukrainian world heavyweight champion WBA/WBO/IBO/IBF managed to knock out the Briton.
Hrgovic, as part of the same boxing evening in Riyadh on December 23 last year, defeated Mark De Mori from Australia by technical knockout in the first round. It was reported that the Croatian could hold a title fight with former world champion Anthony Joshua after the meeting between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
