Joseph Parker’s quest to return to the top of the world heavyweight boxing rankings will begin at Christchurch’s Horncastle Arena on Saturday, December 15, his first fight on New Zealand soil in 18 months.
The former WBO world heavyweight champion faces the formidable American, Alexander 'The Great' Flores who has an exceptional record of 17-1-1, his only loss to Former IBF heavyweight champion Charles Martin, a fight he took on only two weeks' notice.
With an 80% knockout rate, the American is seizing the opportunity to end Parkers career and make his way to the big time – for Parker this is a MUST WIN to stay in the mix!
