Deep division is emerging in the heavyweight boxing scene following Joseph Parker's landmark win over Andy Ruiz Junior last night in Auckland.

Parker took the WBO title last night on a majority decision of the judges, and says he wants to go on to dominate heavyweight fighting by consolidating every available belt.

The split began with Ruiz considering a rematch, and his trainer Abel Sanchez saying he was convinced that his corner had won the fight, which was scored with two judges declaring 115-113 and one declaring a draw 114-114.

"We're in New Zealand. Everything [Parker] did the crowd went crazy," Sanchez said. "The judges may have been influenced but the judges have the last call. They scored it so we have to take it."

Experts also disagree fiercely, including Lance Revill, President of the New Zealand Professional Boxing Association, who told Tony Veitch the result was embarrassing.

"Joseph Parker didn't win that fight," Revill said defiantly. "Get real New Zealand. We haven't got a New Zealand heavyweight champion."

"We got ripped off."

"It was a lopsided fight and I feel sorry for Andy Ruiz. Something stinks about this fight, something stinks about the whole set-up. There wasn't a bad word said about Joseph Parker. The whole press is on his side, he's been given a dream ride right through."

However United States-based boxing broadcaster James Smith believed it's a fair result, and the fight could have gone either way.

"I've seen rip-offs in boxing, and that wasn't one of them last night," he said.

"There were so many rounds that were so close."

Parker's title win marks a startling ascent to the heights of the sport, being crowned world champion after just four years as a professional boxer.

He is now likely to seek a unification fight overseas next year, or a bout with former champion Tyson Fury when he has recovered from substance abuse.
