Joseph Parker’s next two opponents named
The next two fights have been announced for unbeaten heavyweight Joseph Parker (16-0, 14 KOs). On December 5 at Claudelands Arena in Hamilton, New Zealand, Parker will take on 6’7 Daniel “The Mountain” Martz (14-2-1, 11 KOs). Martz will be both the tallest and youngest opponent that Parker has faced to date.
Then on January 23, Parker heads to his homeland of Samoa, where he faces his first-ever southpaw challenger in the form of Jason Bergman (25-11-2, 16 KOs).
Martz hails from Clarksburg, West Virginia, and Bergman is from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Both are managed by Pat Nelson.
Trainer Kevin Barry says there is rational behind every opponent choice, “Joe is currently ranked 7th by the WBO and rising fast. Every opponent we face is designed to ready Joe for the ultimate goal of a world title shot. When that opportunity presents itself we must be ready.”
