Previously scheduled for December, the bout was postponed after blood tests revealed Fa was suffering from a health issue that required the highly-rated, undefeated prospect to undergo surgery.
Former WBO champion and current No. 3 contender Parker confirmed he was most definitely looking forward to relieving some pent-up frustration in what will now be a high-summer showdown between the former amateur protagonists.
Fa, (19-0, 10KO) who is ranked No. 6 by the WBO and 11 by the IBF, said he was ready for the biggest fight of his career.
