Parker is happy to face Klitschko in Germany if required but would prefer to host the third-ranked Ruiz Junior in New Zealand and is confident of claiming a historic victory. The 24-year-old highlighted his credentials for a world title fight when he easily accounted for Alexander Dimitrenko in Manukau on Saturday. In the meantime, Parker has already begun studying the form of Ruiz Junior, and is wary of the 27-year-old's punching power. Parker's management are similarly excited about staging a title fight against Ruiz Junior in Auckland, with Eden Park the touted venue, which is expected to attract a global television audience of more than a hundred million people.
