    New Zealand's Joseph Parker looms as the next opponent for two-time undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion Olexandr Usyk

    New Zealand's Joseph Parker looms as the next opponent for two-time undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion Olexandr Usyk


    Usyk's beaten Brit Daniel Dubois with a brutal fifth-round knockout to retain his WBA, WBC and WBO belts, and regain the IBF belt he relinquished last year.

    Speaking post-fight, Dubois' promoter Frank Warren confirmed Parker is Usyk's mandatory challenger.



    Ironically, Dubois and Parker were due to fight in March, but the Brit withdrew due to illness.
