Headlining at the O2 Arena in London, Parker defends his WBO interim belt against Wardley in a risky match-up. New Zealand\u2019s Parker was ordered to challenge undisputed champion Usyk next, but the Ukrainian was waylaid by an injury<\/a>, leaving Parker with a choice. <\/p>\n And the Kiwi, 33, has chosen to box again rather than wait<\/a>. He takes on Ipswich fighter Wardley in enemy territory<\/a> \u2013 although Parker should also have some backing in the English capital, given his reputation as one boxing<\/a>\u2019s nice guys.<\/p>\n Last time out, Parker stopped Martin Bakole in two rounds in February, having accepted the fight on two days\u2019 notice<\/a> after his original opponent, Daniel Dubois, withdrew due to illness. That withdrawal cost Parker a shot at the IBF title. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, Wardley\u2019s last outing was a June bout with Justis Huni at the Ipswich Town FC stadium. And it was a dramatic night, with Wardley, 30, trailing on the scorecards when he pulled off a one-shot knockout in the late rounds.<\/p>\n A shot at Usyk may indeed await this evening\u2019s winner, although unbeaten 20-year-old Moses Itauma is also hovering around the title picture<\/a>. Here\u2019s all you need to know.<\/p>\n When is the fight?<\/p>\n Parker vs Wardley will take place on Saturday 25 October at the O2 Arena in London. The earliest fight is set to begin shortly after 4pm BST; the main card is expected at 7pm BST; and main-event ring walks are likely to take place at around 10.30pm BST.<\/p>\n How can I watch it?<\/p>\n Parker vs Wardley will air live and exclusively on DAZN pay-per-view, at a cost of \u00a324.99 UK \/ $59.99 US \/ $24.99 or the equivalent for the rest of the world.
