Joseph Parker admits he's wary of the latest heavyweight standing in the way of another shot at a world boxing belt.

The Kiwi faces big-hitting Brit Fabio Wardley in London in just over a fortnight, with a hopeful title fight against undisputed Ukrainian champion Oleksandr Usyk sometime early next year.

Parker says he's watched Wardley's last few fights, and he always finds a way to step it up and get the results, with 18 K-Os in his 19 wins.

But he told Piney that he feels like for this fight, Wardley’s stepped up a little too far.

“I do feel like with the experience that I have, I know he possesses power, but like I say to all the other fighters that I’ve fought, like, bring it on.”
