Joseph Parker didn\u2019t manage to secure the fight against Oleksandr Usyk he\u2019s been hoping for recently, but still has his next outing set when he\u2019ll take on Fabio Wardley on Oct. 25 at the O2 Arena. Parker knows that he can\u2019t afford any slip ups in this instance so says his focus is fully on Wardley, but tells Sky Sports<\/a> he also knows what can come his way should he successfully get through this fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of options out there after this fight,\u201d Parker told Sky Sports News. \u201cBut if I don\u2019t get past Fabio Wardley there\u2019s no point talking about any Moses Itauma, any Usyk, anything else. But those fights are down the line and those fights are options once I get through this fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

With respect to Wardley in particular, Parker says he can\u2019t afford to get switched off in the fight for even a second as that could be all that it takes for Wardley to land one big shot to change the fight in his favor. That said, Parker believes his superior skill and experience will carry the day for him, and with the increased speed and agility that Parker says he\u2019ll be bringing into this fight, he believes the fans will be in for a treat.<\/p>\n

And with a win you can expect Parker to turn his attention to the possibility of an Usyk showdown, or whatever other big fight he\u2019ll be able to manage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joseph Parker didn\u2019t manage to secure the fight against Oleksandr Usyk he\u2019s been hoping for recently, but still…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":213654,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,1920,85],"class_list":["post-213653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=213653"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213653\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/213654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=213653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=213653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=213653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
