The battle between New Zealand heavyweight fighters Joseph Parker and Junior Fa will currently occur in late February or early March.
The first battle was expected to be hung on December twelfth yet was delayed a week ago on account of a disease to Fa that will see him go through surgey tomorrow.
Fa however hopes to be once more into full time preparing by early January despite the fact that he won’t uncover what the clinical issue is.
“I was gutted when I was informed that I would not have been ready to fight..although on the week heretofore I could feel the drop off in my peformance – where in the piece of the camp I ought to have been getting I was going down and I didn’t have a clue about the purpose behind that until I had a blood test and afterward I got pulled from the battle,” said Fa
Fa’s director Mark Keddell says the two camps need the battle to occur at the earliest opportunity.
“We will likely get the young men in the ring as snappy as humanly conceivable so the two of them can proceed onward with their careers…this is the world number three (Parker) and the world number six for the WBO so there is a great deal at stake.”Fa’s coach Eugene Bareman said the difference in date will suit Joseph Parker, recommending the Parker camp wasn’t isn’t paying attention to the battle and Parker would have been ready for the December date.
However, Parker’s mentor Kevn Barry rejects that adage Parker has bounty to lose on the off chance that he doesn’t win.
“This a battle that we are paying attention to incredibly …the stakes couldn’t be higher for us. In the event that we don’t get this battle directly against Junior Fa it will be quite a while before Joseph gets back in the blend to battle for the world heavyweight title.”
