Parker: Dubois exits mentally if the fight is tough ncvrs.com

Joseph Parker believes that IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois can leave mentally if their fight is too difficult on February 22 in Riyadh.

He sees Dubois (22-2, 21 Aries) a warrior type who is fine when he performs well but falls apart when he faces resistance and disadvantages.

Dismantle the mentality?

Parker (35-3, 23 Aries) describes the psychological profile of Dubois (22-2, 21 Aries), which also fits nicely to Anthony Joshua. Both have learned inertia and lack of confidence when dealing with combat situations that are opposed to thema quitter mentalityOr

We saw that when Dubois stepped out against Oleksandr Usyk and Joe Joyce, who fought for both when he was from his corner and followed the instructions.

It may not matter that Dubois cannot handle stress on hard fighting because he is probably in the full race against Parker 33. The 27-year-old Dubois’s career is most important and is in a huge fifth round of the AJ and can destroy the prereker in two or three rounds if he gets off his shots.

They questioned mental strength

“If it gets too heavy, you will find a statement. But if it goes on its way, it will go on, ”said Joseph Parker Sky Sports Boxing Daniel Dubois may be mentally crumbling if the fight is too difficult for him on February 22.

“It is my job to go there and counteract what it will bring and follow my game plan. They always try to make big fights in the boxing in the future. If you try to set this, you must go first, ”Parker said.

Parker won his last five battles and looked good, but did not fight anyone at the Dubois level. Parker defeated 41-year-old Zhilei Zhang and 39-year-old Deontay Wilder in his last two battles. Zhang would have easily won if he hadn’t gone out after five rounds. He threw Parker in the third and eighth round with shots.

However, Zhang was too difficult to maintain any pace in the fight, which allowed Parker to win a nearby, questionable 12 -round victory. I watched the fight and Zhang won, but the judges liked Parker’s activities. He was the two more energetic.

Parker’s fragile chin can betray him against Parker if he has some big shots at the beginning of the race. The blows that were in trouble in the first round would probably be too much for Parker.
