Joseph Parker will now be co‑promoted by Bob Arum’s Top Rank as the unbeaten New Zealander prepares to fight Andy Ruiz for the vacant WBO world heavyweight title this weekend.
Arum will work alongside Duco Events, Parker’s main promoters, to build the fighter’s profile in America and China.
The news ensures that Arum – who promotes Ruiz – will have a world heavyweight champion after this weekend, regardless of who wins.
The winner of the fight will have 90 days to fight mandatory challenger Hughie Fury.
Joseph Parker will meet Andy Ruiz at 7.30pm Saturday.
