Former WBO world heavyweight champion Joseph Parker 25-2 (19 Ko’s) returns to the ring this Saturday when he takes on former world title challenger Alex Leapai 32-7-4 (26 Ko’s) at The Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence Rhode Island.. Parker last boxed in December, knocking out Alexander Flores in 3, having lost back to back fights to Dillian Whyte and Anthony Joshua in 2018.. Parker incidentally handed the current unified champion Andy Ruiz his first loss in 2016, and more than likely fancies the chance of a potential rematch.. Leapai last boxed in August, scoring a knockout of Roger Izonerati in a rematch of their 2017 technical draw.. The much travelled Samoan will be boxing in his 6th country in 8 years on Saturday, in a career which has seen him face many of the biggest names yet lose to most.. Alex has defeats to Malik Scott, Kevin Johnson, Wladimir Klitschko and Manuel Charr..
Leapai is possibly not the ideal choice of substantial opponent, but appears to be the only live name available for the date..
The bout is promoted by Matchroom USA and will be broadcast by DAZN across the US and on Sky Sports in the Uk..
