Joseph Parker hasn’t fought since February.
Parker, who was in line to face Usyk, was affected by an extension granted to the Ukrainian champion due to an injury. However, Parker decided to stay active. Parker’s last fight was in February, where he achieved a knockout over Martin Bakole. Wardley (19-0-1, 18 KOs), WBA interim champion, comes with great backing and after a knockout victory over Australian Justis Huni in June. Although Parker is from New Zealand, he also has a large following in the United Kingdom, where he has been training with Tyson Fury and coach Andy Lee.
