Following the lifting of his suspension, former world champion Joseph Parker has announced his plans to resume his boxing career. This development comes after Parker's provisional suspension was removed, allowing him to return to the ring. Parker had been suspended due to a failed drug test last year, which revealed traces of cocaine after his defeat by Fabio Wardley.
Despite denying any wrongdoing, Parker faced the possibility of a two-year ban from the sport. However, with his suspension now lifted, he has expressed his intention to continue boxing, stating, 'I'm pleased to confirm my provisional suspension is lifted and I'll be back in the ring soon.' Parker, 34, had been in excellent form prior to the suspension, having won six consecutive fights, including notable victories over Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang. His return to the ring is eagerly anticipated by fans and supporters.
