The tensions have slowly been ramping up during fight week with Parker getting more and more agitated. 

The two heavyweights took part in the traditional weigh-in on Friday and it was Wardley who stepped on to the scales first.

The Ipswich man registered 242.7lbs before the interim WBO heavyweight champion was nearly 20 pounds heavier at 262.4lbs. 

When it came to their final words before fight night, the vibe between Parker and Wardley could not have been more different. 

Speaking to Queensberry's Dev Sahni after the face-off, Wardley is confident his unbeaten record will remain intact. 

"This is it, this means everything," Wardley said.

"It’s nothing new to me, every step has been too far, every opponent has been the one that’s going to beat me.

"I haven’t been beat yet and nothing is going to change tomorrow night."

Parker on the other hand was fired up and had a menacing message for his opponent. 

"I’m heavy, I’m strong, I’m ready to go.

"I’m serious about my work, I’m going to punch holes in him tomorrow and teach him a lesson."

The time for talking is done between Parker and Wardley, and now all that's left to do is the pair to battle it out at London's O2 Arena for a right to face undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk next.
