<\/p>\nIt is something of a risk for the Kiwi, who could have simply waited for Usyk to return to fitness, but now faces the prospect of losing his interim title.<\/p>\n

Joseph Parker vs Fabio Wardley (WBO interim heavyweight title, heavyweight, 12 rounds)<\/p>\n
Steed Woodall vs Ezra Taylor (British light-heavyweight title, 12 rounds) <\/p>\n

Parker comes into this fight with an awful lot to lose. He has taken a big risk by agreeing to face Wardley, and could face a massive career setback should he lose.<\/p>\n
But as far as he is concerned, defeat is not an option. Parker will have been a keen viewer of Wardley\u2019s most recent bout against Huni, where he was beyond lucky to escape with a win.<\/p>\n
Parker will be all too aware of Wardley\u2019s weaknesses and his own status as an interim champion. He should have no issue retaining his belt.<\/p>\n
Wardley by decision: 10\/1<\/p>\n
