Joseph Parker vs Junior Fa: Live results, ambitions and rounded updates from Auckland

12,000 fans are expected to attend Auckland, New Zealand for the night of the fight.

Former WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker will take on a young New Zealand player who is currently unbeaten in a major event in Auckland that could lead to a chance world title later in the year.

Parker and Fa are fierce rivals who fought each other four times at the amateur level, winning twice each. This professional outcome, delayed since the end of last year, will not only resolve the conflict but also decide which two could go ahead to challenge either Oleksandr Usyk or Joe Joyce, assuming they eventually fight for a WBO title.
