New Zealand heavyweight boxer Junior Fa has been handed a big opportunity in the United States. Rising New Zealand boxer Junior Fa opens his 2019 campaign with main event status on a heavyweight card in the United States this weekend. The unbeaten Aucklander (16-0, 9 KOs) will fight former French champion Newfel Ouatah (16-2, 9 KOs) in Columbus, Ohio on Sunday (NZT). Meanwhile, top New Zealand heavyweight Joseph Parker, the former WBO champion, has made some moves on the rankings after his last win against Mexian-American Alexander Flores. Parker has been talked of as an option for Tyson Fury after the giant Brit's hope-for rematch with Wilder was put on hold.
