Parker v Wardley

An Electrifying Night of Boxing and VIP Hospitality at The O2 London

Guests enjoyed an unforgettable evening at our VIP Boxing Hospitality event for Joseph Parker v Fabio Wardley at the InterContinental London – The O2 and The O2 Arena. The night combined five-star dining, celebrity entertainment, and elite heavyweight boxing in spectacular style.

The evening began with a three-course dinner and complimentary bar in the buzzing Brasserie, where guests were treated to an exclusive appearance from Tony Bellew. The former World Cruiserweight Champion shared candid stories from his thrilling bouts with David Haye and Oleksandr Usyk, behind-the-scenes memories from his Creed movie role, and predictions for the future of the heavyweight division.

The headline fight more than lived up to the hype. Britain’s Fabio Wardley pulled off a stunning upset, stopping Joseph Parker in the 11th round after a dramatic contest.

Both men exchanged heavy blows early, with Parker rocked in the second but rallying to regain control. The New Zealander appeared ahead on points before the referee halted the fight after a flurry of unanswered punches from Wardley — a decision that sparked debate ringside.

Wardley, 30, now remains undefeated in 21 fights with 19 knockouts, while Parker, 33, loses his WBO interim belt in what was just his fourth career defeat. The result puts Wardley firmly in line for a potential showdown with undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk.

After the final bell, guests returned to the Brasserie for a post-fight buffet and in-depth analysis from Darren Barker and Spencer Oliver. Their expert breakdown of the Parker–Wardley bout, alongside predictions for what’s next in the heavyweight scene, rounded off a thrilling night in true VIP Boxing style.
