“The Heavyweight Championship of the World is still the biggest priize in sport and it can capture the imagination of the public like no other sport,” פאַרשפּרייטער Mick Hennessy האט. “In my career as a promoter, this is right up there and very personal to me, and we look forward to delivering a fantastic event for the fans.”
פּאַרקער (23-0, 18 קאָס) and Fury (20-0, 10 קאָס) have a combined record of a prefect 43-0 מיט 28 קנאָקקאָוץ. Parker succeeded Fury’s unbeaten cousin, טיסאָן צאָרן, who vacated the WBO heavyweight title in 2016.
The 25-year-old Parker, fighting out of New Zealand by way of Las Vegas, captured the vacant WBO heavyweight title in 2016, taking a 12-round majority decision from previously undefeated Andy Ruiz, דזשוניער. (29-0) in New Zealand. פּאַרקער, who stands 6′ 4″, made his first world title defense this past May in New Zealand, winning a 12-round unanimous decision over ראַזוואַן קאָדזשאַנו (16-2).
Parker’s other notable victims include Frans Botha, ברייאַן מינטאָ, שערמאַן ווילליאַמס, דזשייסאַן פּעטטאַווייַ, Kali Meehan, Carlos Takam און Alexander Dimitrenko.
“I’m excited that the next defense of my WBO World title will be in England because it is now the home of heavyweight boxing and I need to be fighting there regularly,” Parker remarked. “Fighting away from home holds no fears for me. I will arrive having previously fought on the undercard of a וולאַדימיר קליצטשקאָ world title fight in Germany, also twice in America. I believe that with so many Kiwis and Samoans living in the UK, I may even have more supporters in the crowd on fight night than Hughie Fury.”
Fury has fully recovered from the back injury that postponed the original מייַ 6 date for him to challenge Parker to זיבן. 23 אין מאַנטשעסטער.
אין 2012, Fury became the first British super heavyweight to capture a gold medal at the World Youth Amateur Boxing Championships and he hasn’t missed a beat as a professional since making his pro debut in 2013.
די 6′ 6″ Fury, וואס סעלאַברייץ זייַן 23רד birthday on זיבן. 18, will be fighting at home in Manchester. Last year in his two most recent fights, both in London, Fury won a 10-round unanimous decision against former U.S. amateur standout Dominick Guinn (35-10-1), as well as a seven-round technical decision over Fred קאַץ (18-4-1).
“I’ve waited so long for this chance and my team have worked very hard to get me this fight,” Fury commented. “I’d like to thank everyone involved. I’m going to shock the world and prove all my doubters wrong and what better place to do it than in my home city of Manchester. Parker is a good fighter and I’ve no doubt we’ll both bring our A-game on fight night. I can’t wait to be crowned world champion.
“Parker is the biggest challenge of my life and he will bring the very best out of me, but I aim to deliver a knockout performance. I’ve prepared like never-before for this fight and pushed myself to the limits and beyond. There’s no way Parker is leaving Manchester with that World title. I will do everything to make sure that belt stays here with me.”
