Joseph Parker-Junior Fa Weigh-In Report From Auckland, New Zealand
The biggest fight on the New Zealand boxing calendar is officially one sleep away.
Joseph Parker and Junior Fa are set to collide in their highly anticipated heavyweight showdown, which takes place Saturday evening at Spark Arena in Auckland, New Zealand. Both boxers took the fight seriously, offering trimmer and fitter physiques than was the case in their previous respective outings.
South Auckland’s Parker (27-2, 21KOs) who trains out of Las Vegas tipped the scale at 240.1 pounds, more than five pounds lighter than he was for a 5th round knockout of Shawndell Winters last February in Frisco, Texas. The weight is Parker’s lightest since his 12-round loss to Anthony Joshua in their March 2018 unification bout between unbeaten heavyweight titlists in Cardiff, Wales.

All you need to know ahead of Joseph Parker v Junior Fa on Saturday, February 27:
Joseph Parker has made his intentions clear about his game plan against Junior Fa on Saturday night: he wants to knock him out – and do it early.
Speaking at the press conference ahead of the heavyweight showdown at Spark Arena on February 27, Parker put his cards on the table and said he wants to knockout Fa within the first six rounds.
With Parker third in the WBO rankings and Fa just two places behind, it s the first time two world top-10 ranked Kiwi heavyweights have squared off and the bout has huge implications for that organisation. Parker s British promoter Eddie Hearn has made it clear that not only does his fighter need to beat Fa, he needs to do so in emphatic style to return title contention. A loss, on the other hand, would be disastrous for his future prospects.
