The New Zealand heavyweight's promoter David Higgins has revealed that he "would love" to step into the ring against the Brit - who retained his IBF world title with a superb victory against Anthony Joshua last weekend.

Higgins told Sky Sports: "Whenever, anywhere, anytime. Joseph would love to fight Daniel Dubois next, he's chomping at the bit.

"Joseph is ready to fight anyone but if he was given the opportunity to fight Daniel Dubois, he'd grab it with both hands and he would back himself to win.

"I think besides Fury vs Usyk II, Parker vs Dubois I think - in the heavyweights - will be the best fighting the best."

Parker has impressively beaten Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang in his last two bouts and Higgins thinks that another title shot for the former world champion would be exciting for boxing fans.

The promoter said: "Parker is on a roll and has surprised people and I think you could say the same about Daniel Dubois.

"Styles makes fights and I think the fans would love to see Joseph Parker versus Daniel Dubois, so if the powers that be are willing to make that fight, that would be a wonderful thing.

"He's been doing a lot of off-season work with George Lockhart on building up some more size and strength. I think we'll see an even better Joseph Parker at the next outing.

"He [Parker] has fought his way, earned his way back to the mandatory position in the WBO interim world champion. He has done that the old-fashioned way by stepping up and consecutively beating some of the toughest opponents in the world.

"He has no fear of Daniel Dubois. He'd fight him anywhere, anytime and back himself to beat and knock out Daniel Dubois."
