Daniel Dubois believes he is "flying" ahead of his battle with Joseph Parker, and has promised the former world champion that he will "put him to sleep" in their encounter.

The battle at the Kingdom Arena, part of another stacked supercard held in Riyadh, comes months after Dubois demolished Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium.
That has left his confidence sky-high, and speaking at Tuesday's Grand Arrivals, he has promised to deliver another statement performance against Parker this time too.
"I'm flying," he said. "I feel really confident and ready to go. The talking's done, let's go to work. The support behind me [from] my dad, my team, Frank Warren [is great].

"All of that is [helping me to] have ambition and goals. We haven't stopped, we haven't given up and we're here now. I'm expecting war. I'm ready to fight.
"Whatever happens, I've ready to go through him and put him to sleep, then onto the next one. I'm hungry. I'm not making any predictions, but I'm ready to fight."
Dubois has ambitions to potentially face Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch if he gets past Parker, potentially for the undisputed heavyweight championship crown.
But the New Zealander is also riding high right now after some statement wins of his own, and will be keen to test his mettle against the Briton in the ring.
