Zach Parker vs Marcus Morrison - 6/11/21 BT Sports

[Master]

Undefeated Zach Parker will take on Marcus Morrison this weekend as he looks to set up a world title shot in 2022.

Parker has a perfect record of 21 straight wins and beat Sherzod Khusanov at the Royal Albert Hall over the summer.

The 27-year-old is the WBO International super-middleweight champion but is eager to move up the ranks and eventually challenge for Canelo Alvarez’s world gold.

Parker will face a tough test this weekend against Morrison.

‘Sweet MNM’ is 24 and four in his professional career and beat Lewis van Poetsch last time out to bounce back from a defeat to Chris Eubank Jr.

This 10-round super-middleweight bout will take place on Saturday, November 6 and is being held at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham.

The ring walks for Parker vs Morrison are expected from 10pm on the night.

The fight will be shown on BT Sport 1 from 7:45pm.

Promoter Frank Warren: “It’s a fight I am delighted to have made and it’s a contest that should bring out the best in both guys.

“Zach is a Queensberry fighter and I believe he wins, but he needs to fight solid opponents like Marcus while he waits for his world title shot.

“Marcus knows this is another great chance. Zach knows that he will bring his best on fight night.

“Zach is one of the avoided men in the division, but the moment Marcus and his team knew there was interest on our side they moved quickly. They believe they can spring an upset.

“I believe fans in the arena and BT Sport viewers will see a fight between two guys who have ability and ambition.”
