Parker had to lose weight, he had too much weight, he was chubby, not fit enough. He needed to do more. “The reason why he won this fight, Parker let him, Usyk won’t, he’ll make you work when you don’t want to work. So many breaks in there.“Usyk doesn’t let you regroup, totally different. The ref is the only person in the ring watching their eyes, we cannot say anything, I’m happy they stopped it at the right time so he can go back to hid wife and kids. The ref did exactly what he’s meant to do.”Jack Rathborn26 Oct 2025 04:20Joseph Park has ‘no remorse’ about fighting Fabio Wardley“He caught me with a few shots, he put on a good performance, but when you get caught, it’s boxing,” Parker adds. “I felt fine when they stopped the fight, but I’m not the referee, I wanted to carry on, of course. “It sucks to lose a fight, not pretending I’m happy, but life goes on. Boxing is what I do, but I’m blessed with kids and a family, regroup, then see what comes next.“I don’t regret anything I do, boxing is just part of what I do, I’m blessed with a family and a wonderful team. It’s just a bump in the road. I felt good out there.”Jack Rathborn26.10.2025.03:40Joseph p Parker rips into referee after Fabio Wardley penalty stoppage“I didn’t feel like it [got away from me]. The ref stopped the fight, I felt like I could keep going on, he saw enough, but I have to accept the result. Two shots hurt me, but I was still aware and wanted to carry on,” Parker tells Seconds Out.“Of course, I was hurting him, he was good, took a few shots here and there, he’s a warrior. He won the fight, he’s onto another big event and fight.“I want to carry on, if I can get a rematch, then awesome, it’ll be great to run this back.”Jack Rathborn26 Oct 2025 03:05Joseph Park extends outstanding career despite Fabio Wardley defeatJoseph has faced the best heavyweights in history, and it is cruel to deny his another chance at the title.
