Rising New Zealand heavyweight boxer Joseph Parker will finally get to fire his shots against Sherman "The Tank" Williams.
The durable fighter from the Bahamas was confirmed today as Parker's opponent for his October 16 bout in West Auckland.
Parker was due to fight Williams in April on the Wladimir Klitschko undercard in Germany.
But Williams, who was a sparring partner for Klitschko, was tossed out of the world champion's camp and sent home, leaving Parker to dispose of late substitute Marcelo Nascimento (Brazil) with a seventh round knockout on the glamour night in Oberhausen.
Williams felt hard done-by and voiced a desire to get a crack at Parker. His wish has now been granted.
