Parker Defends WBO Interim Heavyweight Title Against Wardley in London Clash

The heavyweight boxing match between Joseph Parker and Fabio Wardley is set for October 25, 2025, at the O2 Arena in London, headlining a DAZN pay-per-view event. Parker, a former WBO heavyweight champion and current holder of the WBO interim heavyweight title, is defending his belt against undefeated British contender Wardley, who holds the WBA interim heavyweight title. The winner of the 12-round bout is expected to become the mandatory challenger to undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. Both fighters come in with strong momentum—Parker on a six-fight win streak with notable victories, and Wardley riding recent knockout wins including a dramatic tenth-round stoppage of Justis Huni. The event also features other title fights, including the British Light Heavyweight title and the vacant IBO World Cruiserweight championship. The fight will be available for global streaming on DAZN, with prelims starting earlier in the day and the main event ring walks scheduled for late evening in London.
