Wardley-Parker Heavyweight Clash Venue: London's O2 Arena, the capital Date: Saturday, the 25th of October Broadcast Details: Follow live text commentary and listen on BBC Sounds and mobile application from 20:30 BST prior to moving to national radio from 10:00 PM. Parker registered nearly 20lb more against his opponent as the two heavyweights presented assured figures - even if in opposing manners - leading up to this weekend's feature bout in the UK. From New Zealand Parker is risking his WBO 'interim' belt and chance to fight for the undisputed crown at stake versus the undefeated Wardley at the O2 Arena. Unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has signalled his plan to defend his four belts against the winner. "It all comes down to this. It represents everything," stated a serious but concentrated Wardley, 30, at yesterday's scale ceremony. The Ipswich fighter - possessing the WBA interim strap - came in at 110 kg, consistent with his recent bouts. "This is the one before the ultimate challenge. All the work is finished. Training is ticked off. All the hard work is accomplished. Time for some downtime now. Big night coming up," he stated further. The historic venue in the capital's east witnessed more than fresh produce on the scales as the both heavyweights faced off for the ultimate face-off prior to fight night. Parker flashed a wink at the camera and bobbed along to the tunes. Flexing his muscles, he seemed hefty and strong as he registered at eighteen stone ten pounds, merely five pounds lighter than his career-heaviest. This marks a far cry from the sixteen stone twelve pound fighter who surrendered his championship to AJ in 2018. "We're weary, we're cautious, but I plan to respond with equal force and I'm going to get him," Parker said. I have reached a different level and will dominate him - Joseph Parker Wardley, wearing an Ipswich top, maintained a serious expression, nodded to the crowd, but appeared concentrated. Although he is the smaller man, Wardley has outstanding KO strength. He delivered a dramatic turnaround versus Huni in June, trailing on the scorecards prior to defeating his opponent in the tenth round even though being outboxed for most of the fight. "Parker, his camp and the sport's followers will learn I am destined to be at the top of this heavyweight ranks," Fabio Wardley stated. "Every opponent has been the fighter critics claim will defeat me. This is that fight. His attributes include superior speed, swift, highly seasoned. Yet I remain unbeaten yet, and no one will shift tomorrow night."
