JOSEPH PARKER has thrown his name in the hat for a shot at IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois on February 22.
Dubois and Anthony Joshua looked set for a rematch of their Wembley battle in Saudi Arabia early next year.
But last week Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn cast doubt on whether 'AJ' will be ready despite the date being agreed with Saudi boxing power broker Turki Alalshikh.
Joshua was knocked out in the fifth round by Dubois when they met in September.
It was the fourth defeat of his career and wrecked his bid to be a three-time world heavyweight champion.
