“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,” 促进者 Mick Hennessy 说. “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.”
帕克 (23-0, 18 科斯) and Fury (20-0, 10 科斯) have a combined record of a prefect 43-0 同 28 击倒. Parker succeeded Fury’s unbeaten cousin, 泰森怒, 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, JR. (29-0) in New Zealand. 帕克, who stands 6′ 4″, made his first world title defense this past May in New Zealand, winning a 12-round unanimous decision over 勒兹万Cojanu (16-2).
Parker’s other notable victims include Frans Botha, 布赖恩·明托, 谢尔曼 威廉姆斯, 杰森Pettaway, Kali Meehan, 卡洛斯垂涎三尺 和 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 弗拉基米尔克里琴科 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 五月 6 date for him to challenge Parker to 七. 23 在曼彻斯特.
在 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.
6′ 6″ 愤怒, 谁庆祝自己 23RD birthday on 七. 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. 业余出众 多米尼克·吉恩 (35-10-1), as well as a seven-round technical decision over 弗雷德猫 (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.”
Also airing live is the 12-round vacant WBO Intercontinental super welterweight title fight between hometown hero 吉米 “Kilrain” 黄绿色 (21-2, 9 科斯) 和 Stilliyan “Still Kill” Kostov (21-7, 16 科斯), of Bulgaria.
