Joseph Parker’s journey back to heavyweight boxing’s summit begins against Alex Leapai in Rhode Island on Sunday.
The former WBO champion has only fought once in 2019 - a dominating knockout over Argentine journeyman Alexander Flores.
Parker's descent from the top of the heavyweight mountain was quick - two decision losses against Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte had the Kiwi bordering on irrelevancy until he inked a multi-fight deal with kingpin promoter Eddie Hearn.
Andy Ruiz's stunning stoppage of Joshua earlier this month has parker right back in the conversation for a future title shot but he must be dominant against veteran heavyweight Laepai - a former world title challenger.
Sky Sport boxing analyst Mike Angove breaks down the fight and the current state of the heavyweight division on this episode of Fight Club.
Also, Brad and Stephen look back at Chan Sung Jung's tremendous performance against Renato Moicano at IFC Fight Night.
Other topics include Jose Aldo's UFC contract, Junior dos Santos vs Frances Ngannou and Colby Covington vs Robbie Lawler.
