Joseph Parker is on the verge of securing another world title shot, but he must first overcome Fabio Wardley to set up a shot at undisputed heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk.
Parker, a former heavyweight champion in 2016, has faced setbacks in his career, including losses to Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte, and a halted run at a world title against Joe Joyce.
However, since overhauling his training regime, Parker has achieved wins over notable opponents, including Deontay Wilder, Zhilei Zhang, and Martin Bakole.
Standing in his way is Fabio Wardley, a rising British heavyweight contender who will be fighting at the O2 Arena, with Oleksandr Usyk watching from ringside.
