Joyce vs Parker fight card/undercard in full

Daniel Dubois is coming into this one on the back of an impressive performance against Oleksandr Usyk while Jarrell Miller is one of the biggest characters – whether you like him or not – in boxing. With what we saw in his fight with Fury and Joshua’s recent outings, this fight feels a lot closer than Wallin’s $4 suggests. The Swede has the skills to put Joshua under pressure early and a defensive style that can hold onto a lead on the cards. Dubois’ next appearance in the ring is set to be a title defence against Joseph Parker, scheduled to take place on February 22. “Well done tonight. God bless, well played, but I want my revenge for the robbery last time.

When Parker finally connected in the fourth round with an overhand right he had been repeatedly throwing, Joyce took the colossal shot clean and ploughed on – as he did almost throughout the fight while Parker toiled. For all the talk beforehand of Joyce and Parker’s ability to take shuddering shots, their durability and bravery during an all-action contest was still frequently stunning. Before the headline fight, seven-weight world champion Amanda Serrano earned a comfortable points victory over Sarah Mahfoud to become the WBO, WBC and IBF featherweight champion. “What a tough fight,” unbeaten Joyce said after a gruelling contest in which his near-constant pressure and willingness to absorb blows from former WBO champion Joseph Parker eventually told. All odds are subject to change and are accurate at the publish date and time. Zhang is as tough as they come, but he doesn’t have the explosiveness of Wilder, or at least what Wilder used to have.

  • All of the featherweight belts are on the line as Serrano takes on Mahfoud.
  • The Scottish-based heavyweight has been back in his homeland on holiday – now he is packing his bags ready to fly out to Riyadh.
  • Zorro could cause an upset on the judge’s scorecards ($26) if he hurts Opetaia early and works the body from there.
  • “They’ve had the contract for about a week. We’ll know more on Monday – the two broadcasters are going to meet.

After losing to Tyson Fury twice and then Joseph Parker in a big upset, Wilder needs to collect himself, and the $2.40 underdog meets an opponent he can handle. Wilder has fallen down the heavyweight rankings after losing three of his last four fights, and we’re questioning his drive. For the rematch, he has come in at 110.9kg, heavier than last time and a full 10.4kg heavier than Usyk, who weighed in just 0.2kg heavier than the first fight. That’s either through the thrilling aggression he exhibited in his early professional fights or the muddled tactical confusion that’s plagued his reign as champion and champion-elect.
