No, I was wrong. TV3 said in their crawler that it was happening at 11:00. They wuz wrong. It's 11:45.
Any idea where you can see the announcement???
I'm checking stuff.co.nz and Duco's/Parkers facebook page plus their twitter feeds....as soon as I see it'll be up here.
Joseph Parker to fight International Boxing Federation elimination bout against Carlos Takam to find the #1 mandatory challenger for the IBF heavyweight title.
Charles Martin defends the title against Anthony Joshua on April 9 in London. The winner must make a mandatory defence against Parker or Takam by mid January 2017.
Parker and Takam's representatives have begun negotiations as to where and when their elimination bout will be staged.

I can't see Parker fighting before January, 2017 if he beats Takam. Why risk it? But that's a long time between fights...
I wonder if Takam would travel to NZ for this.

Surely it goes to purse bids.
Its really just an announcement that there'll probably be an announcement in 3 weeks.
Not unless the promoters strike a deal first.
