Fresh off his elimination bout win over Carlos Takam this past Saturday, New Zealand based heavyweight Joseph Parker will be right back in the ring on July 21 against Soloman Haumono, according to Dan Rafael of espn.com.
So Parker will face Haumono in order to stay sharp awaiting the title opportunity and will do so fighting in the hometown of his trainer, Kevin Barry.
“I owe it to Kev to fight in his hometown now because I don’t think there’ll be another chance in the future,” Parker said.
“A lapse in concentration could ruin our world title dreams,” Barry said.
“I’m sorry to say, but with one punch, I can also take his dream [of fighting for a world title],” Haumono said.
