Fabio Wardley achieved a career-best win, stopping former world champion Joseph Parker in the eleventh round of a classic match.
Wardley stunned Joseph Parker at the O2 Arena, where Parker had become the WBO interim champion in 2023 after defeating Zhilei Zhang.
Prior to the loss, Parker had held the title until his dramatic defeat to Wardley. Wardley, with a record of 20-0-1 (KO19), became the WBA interim boss in June.
The drama was evident from the opening bell, as Wardley was hurt by a Parker right hand late on.
