Fabio Wardley vs Joseph Parker Location: London's O2 Arena, the capital Fight Night: This Saturday, 25 October Broadcast Details: Catch round-by-round coverage and live radio on BBC 5 Live Sports Extra plus digital platforms from half past eight UK time then transitioning to BBC 5 Live from 10:00 PM. Parker registered approximately twenty pounds above than the British boxer as the two top fighters presented assured appearances - albeit in contrasting manners - for this weekend's feature bout in the capital. New Zealand's Parker places his WBO interim championship and chance to challenge for the undisputed crown at stake versus the undefeated Fabio Wardley at the O2 Arena. Reigning heavyweight champion the champion has made clear his plan to protect his world titles against the successful fighter. "It all comes down to this. It represents the ultimate," said a serious but zoned-in Wardley, aged 30, at Friday's weigh-in. The British contender - who holds the interim WBA title - weighed in at 110 kg, matching his previous matches. "This contest before the one. All preparation is done. Camp is wrapped up. The grueling sessions is accomplished. Now for some rest now. Major event coming up," he continued. Spitalfields Market in the capital's east saw beyond market goods on the scales as the both boxers faced off for the last occasion ahead of fight night. Joseph Parker winked at the lenses and swayed along to the tunes. As he flexed his muscles, he seemed imposing and forceful as he weighed in at 18st 10lb, only a handful of pounds below than his peak weight. This represents a far cry from the 16st 12lb fighter who surrendered his world title to Anthony Joshua in the year 2018. "We are alert, we're cautious, but I'm going to match him blow for blow and I will reach him," Parker said. I have reached a higher plane and will overpower him - Parker Wardley, wearing an Ipswich top, kept a focused look, nodded to the crowd, but seemed concentrated. Despite being the smaller man, Wardley has outstanding KO strength. He produced a dramatic comeback against Huni in the summer, down on the judges' cards then stopping his rival in the final round although being outmaneuvered for the majority of the fight. "Parker, his team and boxing fans will find out I am meant to be at the top of this division," Fabio Wardley stated. "Every opponent has been the boxer pundits say will defeat me. This is the one. He's too quick, too fast, too experienced. Yet I remain unbeaten yet, and no one will change on fight night."
