De facto semifinals in boxing can be a poisoned chalice. Just ask Joseph Parker<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

When Riyadh Season made its first big splash into heavyweight boxing in December 2023, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder were put on the same card, in a collision course for the following March.<\/p>\n

Joshua did his bit, taking apart Otto Wallin over five one-sided rounds, but the matchup with Wilder did not happen because Parker defused and out-pointed the feared former WBC champion over 12 rounds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Parker is now the favourite in a similar equation. If he comes through white collar slugger turned professional knockout artist Fabio Wardley<\/a> at the O2 Arena on Saturday, two-time and reigning undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk lies in wait.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, this is all or nothing. I am not really thinking about losing this fight, I am going into this fight to win,” Parker told the pre-fight news conference. “And when I win, I will be going onto the next fight. I respect my opponent and what he has done in his career and how he has prepared for this fight, but I am a different level, to be honest. And I am going to show it on Saturday night.”<\/p>\n

Wardley was being roundly outboxed in his previous fight against Australian stylist Justis Huni before detonating a sledgehammer right hand on his opponent’s chin<\/a>. Another shot like that this weekend could be life-changing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe separation between where Joe is and where people think I am has been a common theme for me throughout my career. It is nothing new that I am hearing,” Wardley said. “Every time I step up to a new level, it is always this is a step too far until I come through and win and then it is the next step is too far.<\/p>\n

\u201cI relish the challenge, I look forward to stepping up and proving people wrong, showing people that I am very much at the top level in this division.<\/p>\n
