  • The bout headlines at London’s O2 Arena on DAZN pay-per-view, with ring walks expected around 10pm BST.
  • Official weigh-in: Joseph Parker 262.4 lb and Fabio Wardley 242.7 lb after a tense final staredown.
  • Parker enters as WBO interim champion on a six-fight surge that includes wins over Deontay Wilder, Zhilei Zhang and Martin Bakole.
