Parker eyes victory 'no matter what' as acid test looms amid crowded division of contenders

Zach Parker has promised victory "no matter what" against Joshua Buatsi, but acknowledges defeats are a risk at their respective level.

The pair meet at Manchester's Co-op Live on Saturday, November 1, in a light-heavyweight headline encounter live on DAZN.

Parker, seeking to climb the domestic ranks as he pushes towards world level, plans to ensure Buatsi suffers back-to-back defeats.

But in addressing their pursuit of glory, the star admits there is plenty of risk, and hopes his recent long bouts have helped bank experience.

"You can take losses when you're at the top end," he exclusively told DAZN News. "Against these tough lads, that can always happen.

"What you do really is get back to basics. You stay focused in the gym, and you believe in yourself. You're the one in there boxing.

"You can bounce back, but I'll be looking to add another loss to his record on this one. My last few fights have had some big gaps in-between,

"Going ten or twelve rounds [in my last few fights], it adds to me. I'm really looking forward to this one. I'm fully fit and ready to go.

"A Zach Parker win, no matter what. If it comes early, it comes early, but if we've got to go the full twelve rounds, I don't mind that either."
