By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
WBO #5, IBF #10, WBC #11, WBA #12 Joseph Parker (17-0, 15 KOs) scored a sensational KO victory in round one over Daniel Martz (14-3-1, 11 KOs) on Saturday in Hamilton, New Zealand which was his fifth victory in 2015. Other wins included KOs over former world rated Kali Meehan and Bowie Tupou.
Stuart Duncan who is the matchmaker for Parker’s promoter, Duco Events has talked to Fightnews.com® to say there have been several world rated heavyweights who have rejected very good offers to travel to New Zealand and clash with the 23-year-old Parker. “Shannon Briggs rejected a substantial offer to fight Joseph Parker,” Duncan said. “We also made a good offer to current IBF #1 Glazkov for a bout with Parker, before he was the IBF mandatory, that was rejected.”
“We have made substantial offers to the management of Chris Arreola, Mariusz Wach, Erkan Teper, Mark de Mori and Solomon Haumono. All offers were rejected. There was a four-fight million dollar offer made to the management of Lucas Browne that included a bout with Parker that was rejected. Edmond Gerber was given a very good offer that was rejected. Arnold Gjerjaj who is 29-0 and European champion – rejected a very good offer to fight Parker.”
Jason Bergman (25-11-2, 16 KOs) will be Parker’s next opponent when they clash over twelve rounds at the Faleata Sports Complex, Apia on January 23rd.
