New Zealand's Joseph Parker will defend his World Boxing Organisation (WBO) heavyweight title against Britain's Hughie Fury at the Vector Arena in Auckland on May 6, his promoters said on Wednesday. It will be Parker's first defence of the belt he won in December after it was vacated by Tyson Fury, Hughie's cousin. "Joseph loves fighting at home in front of his Kiwi fans so we really wanted to give him that opportunity against a truly dangerous, gifted young opponent in Hughie Fury," Parker's Duco Events promoter David Higgins said.
Both young fighters are undefeated, with 25-year-old Parker boasting a 22-0 record, 18 by knockout, and Fury, 22, at 20-0, with 10 knockouts. - See more at: http://www.boxingscene.com/joseph-p...ector-arena-on-6--114362#sthash.8FP4Hb9f.dpuf
