Both promoter Frank Warren and Usyk&#8217;s team have hinted that this matchup is practically assured.\n\nParker, former world champion, has considerable experience with a record of 36 wins and 3 losses, including 24 knockouts. On the other hand, Wardley, with an undefeated record of 19 wins, one draw and 18 knockouts, has a less extensive career in amateur boxing, having started at the age of 20.\n\nThis clash of styles and experience levels promises an intriguing fight, with title aspirations at stake.\n\nThe World Boxing Organization (WBO) ordered Usyk to face Parker, interim champion, after the Ukrainian&#8217;s victory over Daniel Dubois in July. However, an injury prevented Usyk from participating, which led Parker to face Wardley in an interim fight.\n\nWardley is known for his devastating power, evidenced by his impressive knockout record and the way he has achieved his last two victories.\n\nIn July, Wardley, despite being behind on the scorecards against Justis Huni, secured a victory in the tenth round thanks to a right-hand punch.\n\nIn October 2024, in a rematch against Frazer Clarke, Wardley also secured a knockout victory in the first round.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joseph Parker, with a significant weight difference compared to his opponent, Fabio Wardley, prepares for a crucial showdown at the O2 Arena in London.
