Parker will make a mandatory defense of his title against England's Hughie Fury in Auckland on May 6. Parker captured the vacant belt last December, with a close points decision over Andy Ruiz. The belt became vacant when Hughie's cousin, Tyson Fury, dropped all of his world titles to focus on his mental health issues.
