New Zealand boxer Joseph Parker will fight Mexican Andy Ruiz for the WBO world heavyweight title in Auckland in December.
Andy Ruiz has an unbeaten run over 21 fights, with 18 knockouts.
The WBO title was vacated by Tyson Fury earlier this month after revelations he was suffering from depression and drug addiction.
WBO gave the order for Parker and Ruiz to fight during its convention in San Juan, in Puerto Rico.
The bout is likely to be on 10 December.
Ruiz is unbeaten over 29 fights with 19 knockouts while Parker, 24 has an unbeaten run over 21 fights with 18 knockouts.
