Joseph Parker is now free to return to boxing right away immediately after his drugs ban has been lifted. Some options in the US for him.
The New Zealand heavyweight is in line to have a fight immediately at this point.
His drugs ban has been cleared and lifted and is free to box again. Options in the US;
Top-Tier American Heavyweight Fights
- Deontay Wilder – Parker already beat him in 2023, making a rematch a logical step to reclaim his spot at the top
- Jarrell Miller – fought to a majority draw with Andy Ruiz Jr. in 2024 and remains one of the top American names available
- Andy Ruiz Jr. – is returning against Damian Knyba in September, but a rematch with Parker would be a huge all-action clash if he wins. The first fight he had ended in a majority decision for Parker on points back in 2016.
- Richard Torrez Jr. – just suffered his first professional defeat to Frank Sanchez recently, making him a high-risk comeback opponent for Parker.
Miller or Torrez fights might make the most sense at the moment for Joseph Parker.
