What time does Parker vs. Fa start? Live stream info for the Joseph Parker vs. Junior Fa fight
Joseph Parker and Junior Fa will put on perhaps the biggest fight in New Zealand boxing's heavyweight history.
Parker is the favourite going into the bout against his 27-year-old rival, but Fa could produce an upset with Parker being out of the ring for almost a year.
Fa meanwhile has been away from competitive action for a year and three months, making it hard to guage something like their current form.
On 27 February spectators will be able to disover who emerges as the best boxer on the islands, and a win would give the winner the chance to move up the ranking and perhaps earn a title fight in the aftermath of the clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
The boxer's respective camps have started to needle one another about the judges selected for the fight , and tensions could boil over in the ring.
Here's everything you need to know about the fight card.
