Parker vs Wardley: Briton weights 20lb lighter as both heavyweights cut confident figures


The Ipswich fighter came in at 17st 5lb (110 kg), consistent with his recent bouts.

“This is the one before the one. All the work is done. Training is ticked off. All the hard work is put in. Let’s get some rest now. Big night coming up tomorrow,” he added.

Spitalfields Market in east London saw more than fresh produce on the scales as the two heavyweights squared up for the final time before fight night.

Parker winked at the camera and bobbed along to the music.

As he flexed his muscles, he looked hefty and powerful as he tipped the scales at 18st 10lb (119 kg), just five pounds lighter than his career-heaviest.

It is a far cry from the 16st 12lb (107 kg) version who lost his world title to Anthony Joshua in 2018.

“We’re weary, we’re cautious, but I’m going to fight fire with fire and I’m going to get to him,” Parker said.
