    Intrigue over where Joseph Parker will end up in the next set of heavyweight boxing rankings

    Intrigue over where Joseph Parker will end up in the next set of heavyweight boxing rankings


    He's currently ranked third in the W-B-O, fourth in the I-B-F and eighth in the W-B-C, but they've yet to update since the Kiwi-Samoan's unanimous decision win over Deontay Wilder in Saudi Arabia.

    Parker's former trainer Kevin Barry is particularly keen to see a jump in the W-B-C, after higher-ranked prospects Wilder and Arslanbek Makhmudov tasted defeat.
