Promoters Duco have confirmed that the Joseph Parker vs Andy Ruiz Jr bout will take place at vector in Auckland on December 10. The fight for the vacant WBO heavyweight tittle will remain on New Zealand soil after Duco managed to secure the requisite financial backing following Auckland City councils denial of their bid for public funding last week. The denial lead to speculation the contest would be relocated to California with Ruiz's promoter Bob Arum giving Duco a seven day deadline to find the supposed shortfall several hundreds of thousands of dollars which was ultimately provided by a joint sponsorship between the TAB, Sky TV, Burger King and farming product manufacturer Gallagher.
