Start work at 9am..

Main event will be around that time.

I have the DAZN app, can watch it on my phone, but it's risky.

They’re only showing it because everyone complained.

I did notice that on Twitter, yeah. At least it's on I suppose.

I don’t quite understand why it wouldn’t be available in the U.K. Surely if they’re already paying to put on the fight, paying for English speaking commentators then it’s a no brainer to have it available in the U.K. and every other country? I wouldn’t have thought it’s much incremental cost for them.

[jameswilson]

I’ll be tuning in.

[margaret thatcher]

fahget about it

[Delta Jay]

I’m usually awake at that time if I haven’t had a drink, might just stay in bed and watch t on my phone.

If I have a pint on Friday then you’ve got no chance. But it’s good that it’s there

[handsofstone]

Good stuff, beggars belief that DAZN werent gonna show this, ive seen Fa a couple times, cant remember much about his style TBH, Parker far more seasoned, destroyed Winters last fight, Fa should be a more competitive fight

[TheLeprechaun]

Fa is one of the worst heavyweights. He was knocked down by Dom Guinn a couple of fights ago and I also recall Devin Vargas had him going. Fa's reflexes are not good and he will be shipping the first few right hands from Parker to set the tone for the fight. I have no doubt that Fa will be getting starched as soon as Parker decides to really go for it. This could be over inside a minute if Parker comes to blow him away.

[margaret thatcher]

ya there are all sorts of warning signs with fa. id add that he also only scraped by with a split vs mediocre craig lewis, and was rocked to his boots by some rando 1-1 guy back in nz

ive never been too high on joe, but he's got lots of top level experience and has been good enough to hold his own there. he has put in some lacklustre performances so i could see fa doing a bit better than expected for a bit, but joe should easily have too much in the end

Aye, I agree. Not a clue.

[cormack]

if parker is going to get another chance at any of the top level guys then he has to come blazing at fa and knock him out in only a few rounds .

Definately dont want to see a long boring session .

[Fightnight Scores]

Parker by stoppage rounds 1-4 is 5/1 with the oddsmakers.
Not heard or seen much from Parker in recent years, I'd say it depends on his hunger levels.
If he wants another crack at a title shot he needs to make a statement, but if he's felt that his time at the top is long over, then who knows.

They were probably hoping Sky would pick it up(and pay for it)with Parker-Chisora rumoured to be next.

This. Bet Dazn had to pay a bit extra for the UK rights but it'll have been a lot less when it became clear Sky were not going to pay for it

I didn’t realise Julius Long still fought

[jameswilson]

The poster doesn’t look like either of them.

david nyika was one of nz's best ever ams, 6'6 cruiser with frame to become hw, one to watch

think he's already qualified for the tokyo olympics so not sure if he's gonna go back to ams to fight in those

was 3-0 in wsb too

I remember watching him win commonwealth gold medal in 2014 and deciding to follow him. Still surprised he didn’t qualify for Rio. He boxed for the Lionhearts in WSB didn’t he?
