Mofo2 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Hughie Fury must travel to New Zealand to challenge WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker, the WBO have confirmed. The unbeaten 22-year-old, who is the WBO's mandatory challenger, had hoped his first world title fight would be staged in Britain, but Parker's promoters Duco Events won the purse bid with an offer of $3,000,011. Parker will now have home advantage for his first defence of the WBO title, which he claimed with a points victory over Andy Ruiz Jr in December.
