Martin Bakole replaces Daniel Dubois, set to face Joseph Parker

Joseph Parker will face Martin Bakole on short notice after Daniel Dubois withdrew from their match due to illness, jeopardizing the world title opportunity for Parker.
Parker has a strong winning streak, including victories over Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang, while Bakole recently defeated Jared Anderson, demonstrating his readiness to take on challenging opponents.
Both fighters face risks due to the short preparation time, but a win could lead either to a title shot against Oleksandr Usyk.
Parker believes it is worth the risk to maintain his dreams of being a two-time champion.
