ABOUT

Flooring Xtra presents Parker vs Flores

Joseph Parker’s quest to return to the top of the world heavyweight boxing rankings will begin at Christchurch’s Horncastle Arena on Saturday, December 15.

The former WBO world heavyweight champion faces the formidable American, Alexander "The Great" Flores who has an exceptional record of 17-1-1, his only loss to Former IBF heavyweight champion Charles Martin, a fight he took on only two weeks' notice.

With an 80% knockout rate, the American is seizing the opportunity to end Parkers career and make his way to the big time - for Parker this is a MUST WIN to stay in contention!

The action-packed card features an impressive line-up of local and international professional fighters:

• Undefeated heavyweight Junior Fa (15-0) – Parker’s former amatuer rival, ranked #10 WBO, will square off against Argentinian southpaw Rogelio Omar Rossi.
  
  
• Canterbury star Bowyn Morgan, current IBO Asia Pacific super welterweight champion.
  
  
• New Zealand Cruiserweight showdown - David Light (NZ #1) - Former Commonwealth silver medalist, takes on “Buster” Lance Bryant (NZ #2).
  
  
• More bouts to be announced soon!
