But, in Parker he is taking on another in-form fighter with the former WBO champion having won his last five fights since his defeat to Joe Joyce in 2022.
Parker recently revealed to Carl Froch on his Froch On Fighting YouTube channel that Joyce was his hardest fight in his career and it would make sense as he is the only man to stop Parker in his 38 fight career.

He said: “It wasn’t a great night for me, it was tough.
“Leading into the fight I got real sick. Very bad. I shouldn’t have fought. Mentally I thought I would smash this guy. Then after one round I thought damn, it’s not going by well.
“He’s not the fastest and doesn’t move the quickest. [I lost because of] The pressure and I wasn’t healthy. It was tough.”
