Lucas Browne

The Kiwi's signature for a fight mooted for around March of next year is expected to be confirmed at a press conference in Auckland at 2pm on Wednesday.

The bout could happen in Parker's home3_news.sport.web.publish

city of Auckland, or in Australia, with Melbourne probably favoured ahead of Sydney.

"I've heard that his trainer, his promoter, his matchmaker, have all said 'yes, no problem', it's actually Parker himself that's holding it up," Browne told AAP on Tuesday.

Rugged Australian heavyweight Lucas Browne has been busy calling out Hughie Fury but could have a chance to get a long-heralded shot at Joseph Parker instead.

The 38-year-old Browne was quick to put some heat on the scene after Parker got past Fury by a majority points decision in an ugly WBO world title defence in Manchester on September 24.

Brown, who is promoted by Manchester legend Ricky Hatton, said Parker was the clear winner.

Browne, a tattooed, powerhouse slugger from Perth who trains in Sydney, earned a slice of history over the weekend when he stopped Russia's Ruslan Chagaev in 10 rounds to become the first Australian to hold a major heavyweight belt.
