Joshua v Fury not even closeJoshua v Fury not even close1:12

Parker (27–2) has only lost to UK superstars Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte, but has since rebounded with a KO win over Shawndell Winters in February 2020.

The 29-year-old is ranked inside the top 10 among world heavyweights, and a dominant win would launch him back into world title contention.

For Fa, 31 years old and unbeaten in 19 pro fights, the bout represents the biggest opportunity of his career. He currently holds the WBO Oriental interim heavyweight title, with his last fight a unanimous decision over Devin Vargas in 2019.

A win would send him onto the world stage.

Parker weighed in at 108.9kg, typical for his career, while Fa tipped the scales at 118.1kg.

Along with the big weight difference, Fa boasts a reach advantage of 11cm, and 3cm in height.

Parker said he was not looking to bigger things, but was purely focused on victory tomorrow.

“Everyone can talk about the other fights in the future, but my focus is purely on Junior Fa … this is the fight that matters most to me. There’s no point thinking about future fights if I can’t get past Junior Fa.”
