CHRISTMAS has come early for Daniel Dubois with the hard-hitting heavyweight set to face Jarrell Miller on the blockbuster Saudi Arabia card.
DDD will be determined to bounce back from his disappointing defeat to Oleksandr Usyk back in August.
But the former interim WBA heavyweight champion could have his hands full as Miller goes into this fresh from a sixth-round stoppage win against Australian brawler Lucas Browne.
However, the American has had his past issues - most notably testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs ahead of a cancelled 2019 fight with Anthony Joshua.
This fight is all part of the huge build-up to see former heavyweight king Anthony Joshua take on Swedish star Otto Wallin.

What has been said?
Dubois' promoter Frank Warren has described the fight as a "must win" for the Londoner.
He said: "There is so much riding on this for Daniel. This is must-win.
"He could have won his last fight but something was just lacking at the end and he needs to address that, and this is the fight to do it.
"Whether it's self-belief or what, Daniel has to go out there and impose himself against Jarrell and get himself back to the big table.

"Otherwise he has a long road back."
Dubois added: "I'm ready to go, let out all of that emotion that I've built up from the Usyk experience and turn it into a positive.
"Come through this big show with a win.
"I want to punch holes in Jarrell, whatever it takes to win, for me it's important to win in style and put all of that [Usyk loss] behind me."
