“Parker will beat with wardley”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
Parker is a compulsory contender for WBO title Alexander Usik, but the Ukrainian previously asked to postpone negotiations due to injury.
Apparently, Usik still keeps his title, and Parker, meanwhile, decided to spend a match of WBA with WBA.
The 30-year-old wardley in professionals spent 20 fights, won 19 wins and one duel brought to a draw.
This fight may mean that Usik in 2025 will not return to the ring.
