It will be the first time the British boxer is defending his title after he knocked out Anthony Joshua at Wembley last year.
Parker, 33, is in the best form of his career and is aiming to become a two-time heavyweight world champion.
Warren has insisted that the winner of the fight will have the chance to clash with current unified WBA, WBC, and WBO heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk.
He told Sky Sports: “Daniel is 27, Joe is 33, which isn’t old for a heavyweight, by the way.
“One is the young buck and flying at the moment, and for somebody it’s his last chance.
“Usyk is the No.1 heavyweight in the world with three belts, Tyson [Fury] is retired, so No.1 and No.2 are fighting each other.
“It’s the next two best heavyweights in the world in the ring together, fighting for a chance to unify the belts against Usyk.
“The winner, he’s got everything.
“The loser is going to be very very disappointed. It’s going to be an amazing fight.”
Dubois was beaten by the Ukrainian by knockout after a tough bout back in August 2023.
He has now won his previous three fights as he forced stoppages against Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic.
These came before his stunning knockout of AJ in September.
Parker, however, has won five in a row as he hit back after he was knocked out by Joe Joyce in September 2022.
His remarkable run of form has also included big wins over Zhilei Zhang and Deontay Wilder.
The chance to clash with Usyk would be one of the last of his career.
The Ukrainian has revealed that he will only fight two more times before he hangs up his gloves.
