Joseph Parker is returning to the place where he first made his name as a boxer.
The Kiwi heavyweight will fight in Palmerston North on June 13 against a yet to be determined opponent, his second fight in Manawatu.
Parker, 23, said he was first recognised as an amateur at a show organised by Palmerston North's Billy Meehan in 2009.
In that fight, a young Parker beat Yamiko Chinula, from Christchurch, who was nine years older than Parker.
Six years later Parker is in Miami sparring with world champion Wladimir Klitschko in preparation for his next bout.
