Zach Parker Takes On Cesar Nunez On
Billy Joe Saunders vs. Martin Murray Card
Following a stunning 11th round KO in his last fight, Zach
Parker (19-0-13 KOs) will be looking to impress again as he
defends his WBO International Super Middleweight title
against Cesar Nunez (17-2-1-9KOs).
The fight takes place on December 4th at Wembley Arena and
will be live on Sky Sports and DAZN.
Ranked second by the WBO, sitting behind only Canelo and
Champion Saunders, Parker is on a journey towards a world
title shot of his own.
Last time out Parker expertly dispatched highly rated Rohan
Murdock, then unbeaten in 22, with a showreel knockout to
claim the WBO International Super Middleweight Title.
Parker believes he’s in line to make another statement on
Dec 4th.
“I’m here and I’m ready to go again” said Derby County fan
Parker. “Everyone knows I’m in the game to win world titles
and fight on big shows. I’m ranked by the WBO as Billy Joe
Saunders mandatory, he knows who I am, and I’m coming for
him.
It’s my dream to bring a World Title back to Derby and I’ve
worked really hard with my team to get into a place where
we’re not far from a shot at that.”
Promoter Nisse Sauerland says he can’t wait to see his
charge in the ring again.
“Zach is one of the most exciting fighters in the super
middleweight division and one that is within touching
distance of world level fights. He’s shown on a number of
occasions now that he’s got heart, he can box and most
importantly he’s got big punching power, capable of
finishing a fight with one punch. He’s on his way to the top
and December 4th is another opportunity for him to show what
he can do.”
Neil Marsh, Parker’s manager echoed the thoughts, while
acknowledging the challenges the sport has faced this year.
“I’m delighted to see Zach out before Christmas in what’s
been a difficult time for the sport, Zach is the real deal
and a monster at super middleweight. In 2021 the kid will
arrive with a bang on the world stage.
I’d like to thank the Sauerlands for the opportunity and
thank Eddie Hearn and Matchroom for the place on the bill”
The card’s main event sees Billy Joe Saunders make the
second defence of his WBO Super-Middleweight World Title
against British rival Martin Murray at The SSE Arena,
Wembley on Friday December 4th, live on Sky Sports and DAZN.
