Dubois vs Parker has been called offCredit: GettyHowever, that bout has now been cancelled after Dubois pulled out just two days before it was scheduled to take place.
'Dynamite' was aiming to set up a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk by winning, after already publicly calling him out.
But it's not going to be happening now and instead, Parker is going to be taking on Martin Bakole.
Dubois fell ill and was assessed by doctors who considered whether his participation would be permitted.

According to Ring Magazine, Dubois was deemed medically unfit to compete by medical professionals.
It would have been tough news to hear for the Brit but also for Parker, who has lost out on his chance to become a world champion.
Instead, he will be facing fast-rising Congolese star Bakole who has taken Dubois' place in the chief support slot.
