Daniel Dubois will defend his IBF heavyweight world title against Joseph Parker on February 22.
Dubois earned the IBF Interim title after defeating Filip Hrgovic in June. His status was later elevated to full world champion when Oleksandr Usyk had to vacate the title due to his commitment to a December 21 rematch with Tyson Fury.
The Londoner solidified his world championship credentials with a stunning knockout win over Anthony Joshua in just five rounds at Wembley Stadium in September.
Parker, a former world champion, has been on a winning streak, including a notable upset over former WBC champion Deontay Wilder in 2023.
He followed that up with a victory over Zhilei Zhang, claiming the WBO Interim title.
The same Riyadh Season event will also feature Artur Beterbiev, the undisputed light-heavyweight champion, in a rematch with Dmitry Bivol.
Beterbiev, unbeaten and the holder of the WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBF light-heavyweight titles, secured a controversial decision victory over Bivol in October. Bivol, in turn, became the first fighter to survive the full distance with the formidable puncher.
The card will also see two top British light-heavyweights, Joshua Buatsi and Callum Smith, square off for Buatsi’s WBO Interim title.
In addition, Zhang will battle unbeaten heavyweight contender Agit Kabayel for the WBC Interim heavyweight title.
Ilford’s Hamzah Sheeraz will challenge for the WBC middleweight title against Carlos Adames.
Shakur Stevenson will defend his WBC lightweight title against Floyd Schofield.
