Joseph Parker made his professional boxing debut in 2012 and remained undefeated over four years in his next 21 fights. In December 2016, Joseph became New Zealand’s first ever World Heavyweight Champion, defeating Andy Ruiz Junior at Auckland’s Vector Arena to claim the vacant WBO World Heavyweight Championship. His next fight will be against Zhilei Zhang on March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Joseph has strong connections both to his Samoan and South Auckland, NZ heritage and despite his accolades in the ring, he counts being a father as the greatest achievement of his life.
