Duco boss says location for Joseph Parker title defence against Hughie Fury still to be locked inPHOTOSPORT Joseph Parker won the WBO heavyweight belt with a points decision over Andy Ruiz Jr in Auckland in December. Joseph Parker's promoters want their man to fight Hughie Fury in New Zealand but say their successful purse bid for the WBO title fight is no guarantee the Kiwi heavyweight's first defence will be on home soil. REUTERS Hughie Fury is 20-0 as a professional but has not fought since April last year. WBO president Paco Valcarel had posted on social media that the fight would be in Auckland on April 1. Asked if Parker was concerned with having home advantage, Higgins did not believe where the bout was would affect their "mentally tough" fighter.
