    Joseph Parker's one win away from another heavyweight title fight

    Joseph Parker's one win away from another heavyweight title fight


    He's set to meet Zhilei Zhang on the undercard of Anthony Joshua's meeting with former UFC champion Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia on March 8.

    Should Parker win - he'd be in line to challenge the WBO champion.

    The belt is currently held by Oleksandr Usyk , who's fighting Tyson Fury on February 17 for the undisputed world heavyweight championship, also in Saudi Arabia.

    Zhang's promoter Frank Warren has welcomed the Parker bout.



    Meanwhile, undefeated cruiserweight David Nyika has been added to the undercard for the Fury-Usyk bout.

    His opponent is unconfirmed.
