Allegedly, a battle between WBO tuss -interest heavyweight champion Joseph Parker and WBA -Tussent time champion Fabio Wardley will be completed for October 25 in the O2 Arena in London, England.
Stay active for USKy
Parker’s promoter, David Higgins, sees Wardley as a good fight to keep him active while waiting for his world title fight.
This is not the battle that the 13-year-old Pro Parker (36-3, 24 COs) hoped for because he waited for a title shot against the undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Ulsyk.
Against the inexperienced and untested Wardley with 19-0-1, 18 COs) it is probably a decline for Parker (33) of the last three fights he had against Martin Bakole, Zhilei Zhang and Deontay Wilder.
Parker’s benefits
- Elite level experience: Parker has a more extensive resume, including fights in the past against Bakole, Anthony Joshua, Dillian Whyte, Zhang, Wilder, Andy Ruiz and Carlos Takam.
- Mobility
- Durability
- Staminia: The average length of Wardley’s fighting during his career in 20 battle is 3.6 rounds. Many of Wardley’s fights ended early, partly because of his lower -level opposition. In contrast, Parker’s battles had an average of 6.5 rounds.
- Psychological lead:
Despite not having the same credentials as a pro, the eight years Pro Wardley gets former WBO heavyweight champion Parker (36-3, 24 COs). It is doubtful whether it will benefit the Slugger Wardley, as Parker has proven in the past that he can win in the UK and beat Dereck Chisora ​​twice and beat Jack Massey.
Parker did lose against British fighters, including Joe Joyce, Dillian Whyte and Anthony Joshua, in the United Kingdom. The defeats against Joshua and Whyte were in 2018 seven years ago, and Parker has shown an improvement in his game ever since.
“USYK’s injury is an easy excuse. Parker deserves his lap, but this fight keeps him active at least,” Parker’s promoter, David Higgins, told Boxingscene.
The problem with Wardley’s power
Fans on X choose Parker overwhelmingly to defeat Wardley and believe he is too smelled because of his experience. Wardley is considered a basic Slugger that may be out of the box, as Justis Huni showed before being knocked out in the tenth round earlier this year on June 7, 2025. If Fabio Parker cannot knock out, he may have a difficult time winning a decision because of his boxing skills, experience and endurance.
