The Briton was medically evaluated in Saudi Arabia and missed Thursday’s news conference, before being withdrawn later in the evening.

Dubois, 27, was scheduled to make a second defence of his IBF title. There is no information on the nature of his illness.

New Zealand’s Parker, 33, will instead fight Congolese Martin Bakole, who has been drafted in as a late replacement.

“If he is ill, I hope he gets better soon and I’m looking forward to Saturday and having a great show,” Parker said before learning of the replacement.

Parker later told Sky Sports, external: “He did a sensible thing. If you’re sick, don’t fight.

“There’s no point going out there and fighting your heart out and you’re not in the right physical shape. Go out there and fight when you’re at peak, top shape, top condition, and put on your best performance. Put your best foot forward and the one that everyone will remember.”

Dubois has won 22 pro fights with two defeats. He won the ‘interim’ IBF title against Filip Hrgovic and was elevated to world champion when Oleksandr Usyk vacated the belt.
