It's something maybe the public think needs to be proven."But what better way to do that than take on the number two heavyweight in the world in Joseph Parker."To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.This video can not be playedMedia caption, 'I've not come here to play around' - Wardley on Parker fightThe heavyweights met at their first news conference on Tuesday in London, but there were few fireworks aside from the customary promises of domination and knockouts.Former world champion Parker, 33, has always been a fan favourite but has reinvented himself in recent years with big wins over Deontay Wilder, Zhilei Zhang and Martin Bakole.His run was meant to rewarded with a world title shot, but a meeting with then IBF champion Daniel Dubois in February was cancelled in fight week.Parker, the WBO's interim champion, then had his shot at Usyk postponed because of an injury to the Ukrainian.The WBO has granted Usyk a 90-day medical extension to agree terms with Parker, meaning a resolution to whether the undisputed champion fights or vacates his WBO belt may be delayed until December.Canelo v Crawford - all you need to knowPublished2 days ago'Take back little Molly' - McCann takes pay cut to boxPublished6 days agoMeatball and chips [data-riddle-v2-0] .rid-load { background: #fff; } [data-riddle-v2-0] .rid-load i { background: #fff; } [data-riddle-v2-0] .rid-load i:before { border-color: #00205b; } .rid-load { padding-top: 56%; border-radius: 24px; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; transition: opacity ease-out 0.5s; box-sizing: border-box; } .rid-load p { position: absolute; top: 50%; left: 50%; margin: -8px; } .rid-load i { position: absolute; display: block; width: 20px; height: 20px; border-radius: 5px; left: -8px; animation: 3s infinite rid-icon; transform: scale(1) rotate(30deg); } .rid-load i:before { box-sizing: border-box; content: ''; display: block; position: absolute; left: 2px; right: 2px; bottom: 2px; top: 2px; border: 2px solid; border-radius: 3px; } .rid-load i+i { left: 0; top: -4px; transform: scale(1) rotate(45deg); } .rid-load i+i+i { left: 8px; top: 0; transform: scale(1) rotate(60deg); } @keyframes rid-icon { 40% { left: 0; top: 0; transform: scale(1) rotate(0); } 60% { left: 0; top: 0; transform: scale(1) rotate(0); } } What information do we collect from this quiz?There is a chance Usyk decides to vacate before then, but it is the second time a row Parker has had a world title shot delayed."As a fighter all you want to do is fight," Parker said of the disappointment."Every fight's a risky fight, but at this stage it is a big risk. I have a lot to lose."I don't want to be waiting around for Usyk. I want to be busy and I want to fight often."The whole division is just waiting on Usyk and seeing when he's fit to fight again."Should the bout get upgraded to a world title fight is of no concern to Wardley, however.The knockout artist will take Parker's position as next in line with a victory and cap off what will be a stunning rise to world class level having started off in white collar boxing."This is already a world title fight. With it on the line or without it there, this is the biggest test of my career to date. This is my world title fight. We know what comes after," Wardley said."I don't see this going the distance. One way or another there is going to be a knockout."So far so good for me, it's always been me. I've always found a way to win. We know how much of a right hand in me that I can pull out at any moment."It would be the first or 12th round, but one way or another it's going to land."Related topicsBoxingBoxing schedule and results 2025Published18 hours agoWatch every Born to Brawl episodePublished28 April 2024More boxing from the BBCNotifications, social media and more with BBC SportPublished16 August
