Former heavyweight champion Joseph Parker (30-2, 21 KOs) will face Joe Joyce (14-0, 13 KOs) September 24 in Manchester. This information was officially confirmed, and the boxers were able to meet face to face at the debut press conference.
Initially, this fight was supposed to take place in July, but the New Zealander's new promotional contract became an obstacle. Joyce and Parker occupy the top two lines in the World Boxing Organization ranking, and the Briton already has the status of an official contender for the championship belt.
Joyce in his last appearance in the ring ahead of schedule won against Christian Hammer. The last time Parker boxed was in December, winning for the second time on points against Derek Chisora.
