Joseph Parker dreams of one day being world heavyweight boxing champion and he took a step closer after the World Boxing Organisation ranked him the No 1 contender.
The WBO listed Parker as the No 1 contender to champion Tyson Fury in their latest rankings, ahead of the UK's Anthony Joshua and former champion Wladimir Klitschko.
Parker's trainer Kevin Barry tweeted out the news this afternoon when he said: "As of today Joseph Parker is now ranked #1 with the WBO #TEAMPARKER."
The 24-year-old, who has an umblemished 18-0 record as a professional, is listed at No 7 by both the WBC and IBF and 11 on the WBA.
