Overview & Stakes
“All or Nothing” is not just a tagline - this heavyweight showdown carries serious consequences. Joseph Parker and Fabio Wardley, both interim champions (WBO and WBA respectively), collide in the capital to stake their claim towards an undisputed title shot. 
Originally slated to wait on Oleksandr Usyk’s next move (Parker holds a WBO mandatory position), Parker chose to stay active - even if it means risking that shot by meeting Wardley now. 
A win here doesn’t just mean victory - it means momentum, leverage, and putting oneself in line for a fight with Usyk.

Joseph Parker
Once a world champion, Parker has found new life in recent years. His victories over Deontay Wilder, Zhilei Zhang, and a dominant showing against Bakole underscore that he still belongs among heavyweight elites. He brings ring IQ, composure under pressure, and refined technique. 
Fabio Wardley
Wardley is the knockout artist many heavyweight fans rooted for. His rise has been steady - beating Nathan Gorman, Frazer Clarke (after a draw), and then taking down Huni in emphatic fashion. He’s raw, dangerous, and has power to change the night with one shot. 
Wardley’s path hasn’t always been smooth - he’s faced criticism for lack of elite-level tests. But his punching power gives him a real shot, especially if he can impose his fight early. 
What to Watch & Key Matchups
Early rounds aggression: Wardley will aim to land big, early. If he can test Parker’s chin before Parker settles, the dynamic changes.
Bodywork and wear down: Parker is known for his body attacks; if he can drag Wardley into deeper waters, experience may prevail.
Stamina & mental shift: Both fighters know this is a must-win. Who cracks mentally when the heat is on?
Power vs precision: Wardley’s one-punch capability vs Parker’s multi-shot combinations and defense.
Prediction & Take
This is a dangerously competitive fight. On paper, Parker is the safe pick - more experience, more rounds at world level. But boxing never guarantees. Wardley’s power makes him a constant threat.
If Parker can weather the storm early and take control with higher boxing IQ, he should pull away. But if Wardley lands early and imposes chaos - we could see an upset.
Either way, “All or Nothing” delivers.
