New Zealand’s Joseph Parker had beaten Zhilei Zhang to claim the WBO interim heavyweight title last March 8th at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This is the reason why the WBC International Heavyweight title is now vacant. The vacant title bout will be promoted by Peter Czymbor of Boston Boxing Promotions next July 27th near Boston (US): Andrii Novytski against Keith Rydell Mayes Jr.
