What has been said between Parker and Wardley?

A particularly cordial relationship has bloomed across the past few months between the two fighters, built on a respect and appreciation for their craft in the ring.

Parker paid tribute to Wardley's decision to take a bout that marks a gamble for both men, speaking to him as part of DAZN's Face-Off ahead of their incoming fight.

"There's a lot of fighters who say that they'll want to fight anyone," he stated. "But they just say it. He's shown in his career that he steps up, and he finds a way to win."

Wardley repaid the compliments, suggesting that the Kiwi is operating at the top of his game, and reflecting on his ability to improve the more he takes out his foes.

"I think he's in his prime," he added. "Early on in his career, he was a great fighter, but he was still finding his feet. Now, his ambition shows he must love the sport again."

Parker vs. Wardley prediction

DAZN senior boxing reporter Chris Walker 

Fabio Wardley’s power has rescued him during his career, but that is a good thing when you are campaigning at heavyweight. 

Despite showing some vulnerabilities in his last outing against Justis Huni, Wardley found the shot to end the fight immediately and he may need to do the same against Joseph Parker next month. 

The popular New Zealander has worked his way up the rankings impressively in recent years and he can take a step closer to Oleksandr Usyk by moving past Wardley. 

Parker, an experienced fighter, will be well aware of the threat posed by Wardley, and he can overcome a few tough moments, perhaps even climbing off the floor, to win well on the scorecards. 

Parker vs. Wardley form and history

Two inform fighters, full of confidence and with great momentum. It is two unstoppable trains heading at each other on the same track.

Parker has responded remarkably after what looked to be a career ending loss to Joe Joyce by knockout in 2022. Not many expected the Kiwi to ever be back at the top table of the heavyweight division.

But a renewed focus, energy and commitment to the sport, aided by his new coach in Andy Lee, has seen Parker literally fight his way back to the top. 

Five straight impressive wins, including over Zhilei Zhang and Deontay Wilder, put Parker back in a world title bout against Daniel Dubois in February 2025 for the IBF crown. However illness meant the champion could not compete, leaving Parker to instead stop late replacement Martin Bakole in the second round. 

Parker has not fought since and ring rust could be one concern for his camp coming into this one.

For Wardley, his star has risen at a rapid rate thanks to his fairytale back story and explosive knockout style. 

After battling out a draw in one of the all time great fights with Frazer Clarke in 2024, Wardley put the world on notice with a quite shocking knockout of the same opponent in their rematch in October 2024, that dissolved Clarke's cheekbone. 

That earned Wardley his first headline fight, and a stadium bout at that, at his hometown club Ipswich Town. The 30-year-old looked set for defeat to the Australian Justis Huni in front of his home fans, as his rival used his experience and technique to out think and outmanoeuvre his foe, often getting through Wardley's guard.

However one switch off from Huni in the tenth round allowed Wardley to do what he does best, delivering another explosive put down at of nowhere .

From white collar fighting to a professional record of 19-1 with 18 knockouts, Wardley now finds himself potentially one victory away from his first world title shot.
