Joseph Parker (36-3, 24 KO) and Fabio Wardley (19-0-1, 18 KO) met today at a press conference ahead of Saturday's interim heavyweight world title fight.

ā€œFor me, this is a decisive fight, all or nothing. Iā€™m not even thinking about losing. Iā€™m focused only on winning!ā€ Parker stated.

ā€œThis is an important fight for me, for both of us! The most important fight of my career and the most important fight of my life!ā€ Wardley assured.

The winner of the London fight will become the mandatory challenger for four-version champion Oleksandr Usyk (24-0, 15 KO). The fight will be broadcast on DAZN on PPV.
