WBO #1 junior welterweight Liam Paro (22-0 13 KOs) and Brock Jarvis (20-0 18 KOs) will clash for the WBO Global title at the South Bank Piazza in Brisbane, Australia on October 15, live to subscribers worldwide on DAZN. This will be Matchroom Boxing’s first show in Australia.
Liam Paro: “My rankings speak for themselves; I’ve taken no shortcuts to get here. I ain’t losing to a guy who isn’t on my level. His team will quickly realize that they’ve made the wrong move chasing a fight with me. On fight night I’ll show you why I’m rated #1.”
Brock Jarvis: “I’m very grateful to get the opportunity. It almost seems unfair that I get a shot at world #1 without even having competed in the 140lb division but that’s just the way that it went and I’m very lucky to get the opportunity. I’m going to make the most of it.”
Undefeated heavyweight Demsey McKean (21-0, 13 KOs) will also see action, taking on Germany Patrick Korte (18-1-1, 15 KOs) for the vacant IBF Intercontinental crown.

Good fight, Jarvis has no chin and i expect Paro to use the uppercut up close. However Jarvis just might ware Paro down cum the last few rounds so anything can happen. But im predicting Paro in 12!
Good scrap indeed. Can’t pick a winner and don’t have a favourite. I love them both. May the best man win and go onwards and upwards. I think the loser if he gives a good account probably won’t lose much apart from the 0 on the record. This is exactly what we need in Australian boxing!
