World-ranked New Zealand boxers Joseph Parker and Junior Fa aren't hiding from the implications of their heavyweight match-up in Auckland tomorrow night. After months of respectful build-up, the Pasifika South Aucklanders resume their amateur rivalry for the first time as professionals. Former WBO world champion Parker is ranked third with the organisation, while Fa is fifth - meaning a sizeable reward for the winner, and significant setback for the loser. Clay Wilson has this report.
