Joseph Parker: Kiwi heavyweight boxer ahead of his bout with Fabio Wardley

View descriptionShare

Joseph Parker admits he's wary of the latest heavyweight standing in the way of another shot at a world boxing belt. 

The Kiwi faces big-hitting Brit Fabio Wardley in London in just over a fortnight, with a hopeful title fight against undisputed Ukrainian champion Oleksandr Usyk sometime early next year. 

Parker says he's watched Wardley's last few fights, and he always finds a way to step it up and get the results, with 18 K-Os in his 19 wins. 

But he told Piney that he feels like for this fight, Wardley’s stepped up a little too far. 

“I do feel like with the experience that I have, I know he possesses power, but like I say to all the other fighters that I’ve fought, like, bring it on.”
