Boxing is in a real slump this year, with few major fights and far less compelling bouts than usual, and so the prospect of a serious and intriguing heavyweight contest between Joseph Parker and Fabio Wardley at the O2 Arena brings a measure of relief to the beleaguered business. The winner will almost certainly face Oleksandr Usyk, the world champion, next year.

Deontay Wilder returns to the ring on June 27th, aiming for victory after a nearly three-year hiatus, with hopes of future matchups against top contenders.
