It’s an unusual choice of opponent for Parker (25-2, 19 KOs), because he’s still considered one of the top tier heavyweights in the division. For his Parker’s new promoters to put him in with an old unranked heavyweight like Leapai, it kind of makes you wonder whether they’re going to take a couple of years to try and rebuild him. Parker lost to Dillian Whyte and Anthony Joshua in consecutive fights that took place in the UK in 2017 and 2018 respectively.
Since Parker’s loss to Whyte in 2018, he came back to defeat little known heavyweight Alexander Flores (17-2-1, 15 KOs) by a third round knockout last December. Leapai is arguably a step down from Flores. It’s anyone’s guess whether Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn is going to take a year or two to rebuild the 27-year-old Parker before putting him in with Whyte or Joshua in a rematch.
Leapai v Parker live stream Joseph Parker will face Alex Leapai on his return to action at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island on Saturday June 29 live on DAZN in the US and on Sky Sports in the UK.
Parker (25-2 19 KOs) returned to action in December with a third round KO win in Christchurch following two huge fights in the UK, first taking on Anthony Joshua in a unification blockbuster in Cardiff in March 2018 and then shared 12 rollercoaster rounds with Dillian Whyte in London in July.
The Kiwi fights for the first time under the Matchroom Boxing USA banner and national pride will be at stake as he meets Leapai (32-7-4 26 KOs). The Samoan-Australian, who spent part of his childhood in New Zealand, boxes in America for the first time in a lengthy career that saw him challenge Wladimir Klitschko for his World titles in April 2014.
Live stream Alex Leapai vs Joseph Parker from outside your country
If you’ve been looking forward to this Leapai vs Parker fight and already know where to watch, your plans may be scuppered if you’re out of the country when it’s on. That’s because broadcasters geo-block their coverage if you try to watch from abroad.
But there’s a clever workaround for this, which is perfectly legal (assuming the broadcaster’s Ts&Cs allow it) and it involves using a piece of software called a VPN – better that than trying to get some dodgy stream from Reddit.
