During the press conference for the fight back in April, Lopez made his objective clear: "My goal is to become the first male to become two-time undisputed champion back-to-back."

In order to look ahead to a unification fight with WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney and beyond to undisputed junior welterweight champ Josh Taylor, Lopez can't afford to falter against Kambosos first.

Lopez is coming off a stirring unanimous decision victory over Vasiliy Lomachenko in October when he outboxed the man who many believed to be the pound-for-pound best in the sweet science.

He'll be up against a game Kambosos, who produced a split-decision win over Lee Selby in October as well.

Both Lopez and Kambosos have shared an increasingly growing disdain for each other leading up to this bout, which should culminate with fireworks in the ring Saturday night.

Joseph Parker Aims For a Knockout of Junior Fa, Not a Decision

Down a long private driveway set among the rolling hills of semi-rural South Auckland I have come to catch up with Joseph Parker stream to discuss his upcoming December 11th bout against Junior Fa. It’s a clear cloudless afternoon and the house with its limitless views feels like a sanctuary, far away from all the global craziness that has defined 2020 as one of the strangest years on record. (photo by photosport)

Surrounded by family, his partner Laine and three daughters, Elizabeth, Shiloh, and Michaela, this is Joseph Parker in his element and it seems like he is finally found that perfect balance between professional athlete and family man. He wears it well. His daughters cluck around him and fatherhood, despite all the disruptions that fighting overseas the past few years has caused, is clearly something that Joseph relishes.

If one word were to sum up the mood at the Parker residence it would be ‘serenity’ with ‘balance’ being a close contender. In the past it would be fair to say Parker was living two lives, lives that were not always compatible.  On one hand there was the fresh faced fighter moving up the rankings, operating under the strict regime that entails being a professional athlete, but equally there was also the young man wanting to live his life, experience the fun and freedom of socializing and partying with his friends. It’s something that Joseph acknowledges as part of the maturing process, ‘yeah I was trying to be an athlete but I was also a young guy out enjoying time with my friends’ he then laughs ruefully recounting a story about a fight early in his career where he indulged in a burger eating contest post weigh-in.

2020 along with many other changes in the world has also seen a transformation in the way Joseph conducts his preparation, not only for his upcoming fight but also the way he lives and trains all year round. Gone are the boom/bust times of being in camp and fight night only to be followed by periods of no gym work at all.

Despite not being in camp since February, Parker fa live fight has maintained a rigorous training schedule full of strength and conditioning work interspersed with various built-in recovery sessions. Weight-wise he looks to almost be in fighting shape with over 7 weeks out from his fight with Fa, it’s something he says has helped both with managing injuries while maintaining a better mental focus.

Junior Fa fight Joseph Parker live stream on December 12

Junior Fa has turned down $500,000 to take on Joseph Parker fight in yet another roadblock for New Zealand's next 'fight of the century'.

Negotiations for the Kiwi super fight have been going on since March but issues over money have stalled discussions.

According to Parker's manager David Higgins, a renewed offer has been unsuccessful with Fa's team declining a "sliding package" with a guaranteed US$200,000 which could inflate to as much as NZ$500,000 if Parker fa Fight pay-per-view sales are successful.

Higgins says Team Parker can't get a response from Fa, despite an offer he calls "10 times the biggest fight he's ever had".

Two days ago we offered Junior Fa more than $500,000 [New Zealand dollars] to fight Joseph Parker," Higgins told Sky Sport UK where Parker has a deal with his British promoter Eddie Hearn. "That's 10 times the biggest fight he's ever had; The second-biggest fight in the history of New Zealand.

"The only bigger purse has been when Parker fought Andy Ruiz Jr and won the world title. Junior Fa was offered the second biggest purse ever to fight the guy he had been calling out for two years. We can't get a response.

"The only explanation is Junior Fa is using Joseph Parker to build his name and then he's offered $500,000, enough to buy a house, and he runs." Fa vs Parker fight online

All Blacks and Wallabies play out a sensational 16-16 draw in the Bledisloe Cup opener.

All you need to know ahead of the All Blacks' clash against the Wallabies in Bledisloe I

The All Blacks' first Bledisloe Cup clash against the Wallabies in Wellington today will be the first time the New Zealand side will be on the field since the conclusion of the disappointing 2019 Rugby World Cup.

In fact, it's two weeks short of a year since that night in Yokohama where the All Blacks fell to England in the World Cup semifinal, and 400 days since they last played a test in New Zealand.

They will be playing the match without Beauden Barrett, who was a late withdrawal due to an Achilles injury, being replaced by Damian McKenzie, while this morning reserve prop Nepo Laulala was ruled out due to personal reasons, with Tyrel Lomax coming onto the bench.

With everything that's happened since that England defeat, All Blacks hooker Codie Taylor said he was excited to put the loss behind him and use it as fuel against the Wallabies in the highly-anticipated return of test rugby.

"Being involved in that, it obviously hurts and you're never going to forget losing a World Cup playoff," Taylor said. Australia all blacks live stream

"The great thing about this year is we've got a new group and there's a whole lot of new players who weren't a part of that team and they can bring a lot of energy themselves and help us get through.

"We've got a whole new coaching staff as well so there's a lot of excited people in the group and looking forward to Sunday. It's almost been a year since we've played so that's what we're using as fuel to get out there and pull on a black jersey."

New Zealand Rugby and Rugby Australia have to assume there will be no trans-Tasman Super Rugby next year, even if there is an agreement.

This domestic rugby competition will again be of a standard higher than anywhere in the rugby world and will attract corresponding attention. This will in turn create more momentum to look domestically for New Zealand’s rugby future. The subject of more New Zealand professional teams will become a live issue, as it was at the start of the New Zealand rugby review.

A lot of people have a lot of opinions, which is wonderful, and The Roar would be nothing without it. But in the end what actually happens, not just what everyone thinks is going to happen, is what’s interesting. australia new zealand rugby live

So, for all the empire-building, kite flying and posturing we’ve witnessed lately, and beyond the outrage Olympics that’s been trans-Tasman rugby, what will happen next?

The decision-makers can have their plans, but events are powerful. Nothing is more powerful than COVID-19, the pandemic that has changed everything. After what’s happened in Victoria, the danger of a similar experience in New South Wales and the disease’s reoccurrence in New Zealand, and in the absence of a proven vaccine, both New Zealand Rugby and Rugby Australia have to assume there will be no trans-Tasman Super Rugby next year, even if there is an agreement.

To survive, domestically at least, they will both have to look within. That will create structures and success that will shape the future, no matter what we think now.

Australian rugby faces further fracture as New Zealand plan prompts fight for survival

Australia Rugby Game seems set to adopt an “all for one and one for all” approach to New Zealand’s proposed trans-Tasman Super Rugby competition, demanding all five Australian teams participate. But it remains to be seen for how long a united front can be maintained before self-interest fractures the game in this country yet again.

Rugby Australia hoped a trans-Tasman competition would involve the five New Zealand Super Rugby franchises and five Australian sides, including the once exiled Western Force. But New Zealand’s revelation last week that it is planning to create an eight to 10 team competition, including a Pacific Islands franchise, does not add up to five Australian sides taking part.

New Zealand vs Australia Rugby It indicates Australia could potentially contribute just two or maybe four teams at best to a new competition, but certainly not five.

New Zealand wants to establish a high-quality competition to prepare Kiwi players for the All Blacks, which is their No 1 priority. In the absence of strong South African opposition due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Kiwis would not wish to carry any non-competitive Australian teams.

 

As it did at the start of Super Rugby in 1996 Australia is still capable of providing three highly-competitive teams, but not four or five, and the Kiwis know it. They do not want Australia to drag them down.

Australian rugby figures have expressed moral outrage at New Zealand’s stance. But why would New Zealand agree to five Australian teams taking part when three years ago RA and four Super Rugby franchises decided to axe the Force because Australia could not support five sides?

The Super Rugby franchise are still debating under their breath whether there is actually sufficient quality player depth in Australia to support five teams. If the Australians are not certain, why would the Kiwis be?

The depletion of Australia’s playing stocks could become even greater if RA is unable to secure a lucrative, new broadcast deal, which looks increasingly unlikely, to prevent a mass exodus overseas. Wallabies vs All Blacks live

 
RA is talking about approaching South African and Argentinian players to play in Australia and even re-locating an entire South African team. This is fanciful. The best South African and Argentinian players will find jobs in Europe and Japan. Australia certainly would not be able to pay them market value.

Perhaps Force benefactor Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest could dig deep and bring some top quality Australian players back from overseas, but the mining magnate’s recent $5m injection in Western Australian grassroots rugby may be a much more valuable investment for the game long-term.

New Zealand acknowledged its current five-team Super Rugby Aotearoa competition would be unsustainable beyond this year. RA will be hoping the Kiwis come around to the view that they need Australia as much as Australia needs them. All Blacks Wallabies live stream
