    Maybe there's a bug going round which Schofield and Dubois have caught and the rest of the fighters on the card or some of them have caught it too and will fall ill later today or tomorrow and the card will get cancelled?

    The Stevenson fight I wasn't too bothered about but Dubois pulling out has significantly took some shine off the event.

    Still a good card overall but still very disappointing to hear.

    If Bakole could somehow step in for Dubois then that would almost make up for it.

    Dammit that sucks. Was looking forward to that. I hope to God that the rest of the card doesn’t get affected. This is too good of a lineup to mess up.

    I'm guessing this is now a non title fight?
    Parker should be right pissed, imagine the mental toll on him to last minute learn the title challenge no longer and fighting a diff opponent...makes a potential banana peel for him.
    I was more worried for JP hugging everyone in Saudi at the pre- fight press gigs thinking he is one hug away from covid !
    Hopefully Independant medical report to justify DD claim- I know **** happens (especially if food poison) but have a feeling DD has taken a 3rd knee here

    If this happened in the UFC, as it has many times, Dana White would switch it up

    He'd make

    Big Bang vs Bakole

    J-Park vs Kabayel

    And that would be great

    This is gutting. I’ve been so hyped up for this card. Still some great fights to watch, but this has taken some of the shine off.

    Get Wilder over there for a rematch.

    Maybe he’ll improve on his last performance and only lose 11-1 this time.

    Bakole seems most likely, not official yet though.

    Anyone know if Parker keeps his WBO Interim title then? And who is next in rotation for Usyk's mandatory, I think its WBO, Fury defended WBC against Whyte, and Usyk defended the WBA against Dubois. I can't remember the last time the WBO belt was defended against its mandatory.

    So Parker could feasibly get a title shot against Usyk if he beats whoever they end up putting in front of him. Especially if Dubois has to defend his IBF as they are strict with their rules.

    0% chance. Moses is being managed carefully and they wouldn't rush him like this. If Parker had the belt that would be the only possible case where there would have been a chance

    Let's hope it will be Bakole.
