Fury won't be drug tested ahead of Parker bout

Parker's promoter, Duco boss David Higgins, confirmed today that the fight for the WBO world heavyweight title will take place in New Zealand despite Fury's impending hearing over doping allegations.

Higgins says Fury's hearing with the British Boxing Board of Control has been set for after his fight with Parker.

The 22-year-old Fury, the cousin of former undisputed world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, is alleged to have used the prohibited steroid nandrolone back in 2015.
