Gotta go with JP and Ngannou as the underdogs and the odds:

Joshua a big favorite against Ngannou
FacebookTwitterReddit
Former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is a -450 favorite against former UFC champ Francis Ngannou +320 for their clash on Friday night from the Kingdom Arena in Riydah, Saudi Arabia.

In other action, WBO interim heavyweight champion Zhilei Zhang is a -250 favorite against former WBO champ Joseph Parker (+200), unbeaten heavyweight Justis Huni is -450 against Kevin Lerena +320, and oddsmakers have WBC featherweight champion Rey Vargas as a slight +150 underdog against unbeaten challenger Nick Ball (-175).

RE: Joseph Parker - Kiwi - 03-06-2024

I'm pretty sure that "Left Hook" thing from Andy Lee was a joke

And yet - late in the fight - it may actually happen

But yes - I agree with you guys overall. Get some hard shots in early. Move the big man around while avoiding the worst.

Come on strong in the later rounds


RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 03-06-2024

Interesting that Lee mentioned the left hook the same day there was a picture of Tua (see Tua thread), ripped to shreds, talking about a comeback.
I think Lee is just trying to put thoughts into ZZ's head about the need to keep his right hand up. More thoughts, more to pay attention to, more mistakes. Bright man, our Lee.

The bout gets under way at 11am on Saturday at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou.

Fight preview
Joseph Parker, 32, boasts a record of 34-3 with 23 KOs as he gears up for his upcoming bout against Zhilei Zhang.

Parker (34-3, 33 KOs) is coming off a dominant decision win over Deontay Wilder in a major upset last December in Riyadh. Zhang (26-1-1, 21 KOs) scored back-to-back stoppage wins over Joe Joyce last year in a breakthrough campaign.

Parker has scored four consecutive wins since an 11th-round KO loss to Joyce in 2022. A former heavyweight titleholder, Parker won the vacant WBO belt when he narrowly outpointed Andy Ruiz in 2016. Parker’s other two defeats came in 2018, back-to-back decision losses to Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte.

Known for his power (67.6 per cent wins by stoppage), Parker’s recent fights have seen a shift to relying on his underrated boxing skills. He went the distance in 10 of his last 16 fights and despite three recent losses, Parker’s journey reflects resilience, including victories over Junior Fa and Dereck Chisora.

On the opposing end, southpaw Zhang, 40, holds a record of 26-1-1. His power-packed wins (81 per cent by stoppage) make him a formidable opponent. Zhang, measuring 6-feet-6-inches, enjoys a height advantage over 6-feet-4-inch Parker. His amateur accolades include a silver medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

What happens if Parker wins?
As revealed by Herald reporter Liam Napier in February, in his quest to secure another world heavyweight title shot, Joseph Parker must defeat Zhilei Zhang not once but twice after agreeing to a one-way rematch clause.

As he seeks to seize momentum, following his career-best win over feared former champion Deontay Wilder at the same venue, Riyadh’s Kingdom Arena, Parker confronts another sizable challenge knowing he has a potential two-fight date with Zhang.

With limited elite-level opponents on offer after neutralising Wilder’s power, Parker was left with little choice but to accept the one-way rematch clause that is designed to protect Zhang’s status as WBO interim champion after his two impressive stoppage victories over Joe Joyce.

The rematch scenario leaves a simple scenario that, should he emerge successful against Zhang, which is by no means an easy task, maps out Parker’s short-term future.
