World-ranked New Zealand boxers Joseph Parker and Junior Fa aren't hiding from the implications of their heavyweight match-up in Auckland tomorrow night.

Former WBO world champion Parker is ranked third with the organisation, while Fa is fifth - meaning a sizeable reward for the winner, and significant setback for the loser.
