Joseph Parker, WBO interim heavyweight champion, expressed his desire to have a rematch with Anthony Joshua, who defeated him by unanimous decision in 2018.
Joseph Parker for Sky Sports
I've been wanting a rematch with Joshua. I want to avenge those losses. I know AJ's another big fight, I don't really care who I fight, just make sure it's someone who's top five in the world.
Parker will face the WBA interim titleholder Fabio Wardley in London on October 25. Parker last fought in February 2025, winning by TKO in the second round over Martin Bakole. He holds 36 wins (24 by KO) and 3 losses.
Wardley’s last bout was in June 2025, a 10th-round knockout victory over Justin Huni. His record stands at 19 wins (18 by KO), 1 draw, and no losses.
