Heavyweight contender Joseph Parker will risk his status as the mandatory challenger for world titleholder Anthony Joshua by squaring off with Alexander Dimitrenko on Oct. 1 at the Vodafone Events Centre in Manukau, New Zealand, promoter Duco Events announced at a news conference Monday.The announcement of Parkers bout, which is in his hometown, comes just four days after he also risked his mandatory status in a fourth-round knockout victory against Solomon Haumono in Christchurch, New Zealand.The 6-foot-4, 234-pound Parker (20-0, 17 KOs), 24, will be the smaller man against the 6-7, 254-pound Dimitrenko (38-2, 24 KOs).It doesnt faze me fighting big men, Parker said. I know if I put in the training, I know I can beat anyone in the world. ... I think its important to go to the body and break him down.Trainer Kevin Barry wants Parker to fight taller opponents in preparation for the eventual fight with Joshua, who is 6-6.We need to put Joe up against some big men, Barry said. There are big guys at the top of the heavyweight division. When you look at [world champion] Tyson Fury, when you look at [former champion Wladimir] Klitschko, when you look at Joshua, these guys are all tall. These are the guys we are targeting. These are the guys who hold the titles. These are the guys that dictate all of the big purses in world heavyweight boxing. So we need to go after them.Dimitrenko, 34, of Russia, is the former European heavyweight champion and has won six fights in a row since suffering an 11th-round knockout loss to contender Kubrat Pulev in a European title fight in May 2012.Dimitrenko is a guy who former world champion Shannon Briggs went out of his way to avoid earlier this year because of the risk, Duco Events promoter Dean Lonergan said. Even casual boxing fans know that all Eastern Europeans in the heavyweight division know how to fight.Dimitrenko pulled out of a fight against interim world titleholder Luis Ortiz scheduled for March 5 on HBO in Washington, D.C., because he was unhappy with the purse.With Joshua (17-0, 17 KOs), 26, of England, free to make an optional defense until Nov. 8 and the mandatory fight not due until Jan. 9, 2017, Parker is looking to stay sharp against Dimitrenko with the title fight looming.Barry said it is possible that if Parker beats Dimitrenko he will fight yet again before the end of the year.Well focus on this fight, and after this fight theres every indication that, everything going well, that we will fight another tall guy later in the year, Barry said.Parker said the eventual world title fight is on his mind but that he will be prepared for Dimitrenko.Even though theres something in the back of my head in Joshua, you still have to stay focused on whats in front of you, Parker said. If you lose focus, thats the fight you dont get to. I want to stay focused even though were thinking about Joshua. This is another challenge. Vans Old Skool Pas Cher . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October.

World No. 1 Jason Days place in the lucrative season-ending Tour Championship is in doubt after he withdrew with a back injury from the BMW Championship won by Dustin Johnson.Day tweaked his lower back when he bent down to put a tee in the ground on the ninth hole and decided to pull out of the event rather than risk further damage.Already well back off the lead, he now has a serious challenger for his place at the top of the world rankings as world No.2 Johnson powered home to win at Crooked Stick Golf Club by three shots.Johnson shot a final round five-under 67 to surge to 23 under for the tournament, winning for the third time this year to go with his US Open and WGC Bridgestone Invitational triumph.Englands Paul Casey finished runner-up for the second week running, closing with a 67 of his own to be 20 under, with American Roberto Castro (67) playing his way into the season finale by finishing third at 17 under.The results puts the American closer to Day in the world rankings ahead of the season ending Tour Championship, and sends him to the top of the season long FedExCup points list.Defending event champion Day has a history of back issues, withdrawing from the BMW Championship in 2014 with a similar complaint.He also battled a bad back at the 2015 Barclays and 2016 World Golf Championships Match Play with the same issue before fighting through the pain and winning.His place in Atlanta in two weeks is now in doubt where the winner of the season long FedExCup will claim a $US10million bonus.Hes all right, hes just got some back iissues and is in a little bit of pain.dddddddddddd Hes getting treatment right now. I dont think its anything that he hasnt dealt with before, Days manager Bud Martin said.The trainer is maybe thinking its the same type of thing that he dealt with I think at the Barclays and last year where he picked something up in his bus and it kind of got out of line.But just better safe than sorry. Instead of forcing it, we just decided that it was more prudent to kind of come in, get it worked on, and deal with it.Day dropped from second to fourth in the FedExCup standings which is of minimal consequence as those in the top five can guarantee the FedExCup with a win in the TOUR Championship.Well probably get a MRI just to double check. My gut is that hell be fine, Martin said.Hopefully, hell be ready for Atlanta, but the most important thing is the next 15 years, not the next 15 days.Meanwhile Adam Scott finished fourth for the third straight playoff event.A final round 71 left him 12 under, 11 shots off the win. He is now third in the season-long points list, giving him a chance to win it all in two weeks time.Hopefully Im saving my best for last, that would be a great way to finish the year, Scott said.And starting in third, that would mean I would win the FedExCup. So thats an exciting spot for me to be in and hopefully I can take advantage of it.Marc Leishman (-1) and Aaron Baddeley (+4) have ended their seasons. ' ' '
