Joseph Parker on Whether Wardley Can Beat Usyk

Former world champion Joseph Parker shared his thoughts on a possible heavyweight clash between interim WBO titleholder Fabio Wardley and undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk.

– Can Wardley beat Oleksandr Usyk? Does he have enough skills to do it?

– There’s only one way to find out — make the fight.

– Do you think he can do it?

– I’m not sure. If that fight happens, we’ll all see how it plays out. But I felt I was ahead in our fight, and as Andy Lee noted, he just changed the course of events. After the stoppage I felt fine and wanted to continue, but it happened the way it happened, said Parker.

On October 25, Fabio Wardley (20-0-1, 19 KOs) defeated Joseph Parker (36-4, 24 KOs) by 11th-round TKO after a prolonged flurry that prompted the referee to halt the bout. Full fight statistics are available via the provided link.
