Buatsi rematch open, Parker wants to beat Dzambekov first

Zach Parker faces Austria's Umar Dzambekov at Copper Box Arena on Saturday. Parker believes that victory could take him to a rematch with Joshua Buatsi and potentially a world title fight. Dzambekov stands out for his one-punch knockout wins, and Parker says the fight could be very exciting.

Parker still disputes the points decision he lost to Buatsi last year. In his view, it is clear to everyone that he was the winner. Even so, Parker says he is no longer as bitter as before, and he states that the Dzambekov fight will be a tougher contest than the Buatsi fight.

Buatsi, for his part, says he does not understand his opponent, who believes he won the fight despite being knocked down several times last year. The same night, Buatsi is set to face Willie Hutchinson again for the light heavyweight world title vacated by the WBC. Buatsi says he is open to a rematch with Parker if both boxers win their next fights.

The fight can be watched live on Sky Sports digital platforms from 17:00 on Saturday.
