    Kiwi boxer Joseph Parker has rejected any wrongdoing, after it was revealed a drug test he took before his loss to British heavyweight Fabio Wardley came back positive


    Parker's confirmed taking the voluntary test in London, but denies the use of any prohibited substances or performance-enhancing drugs.

    The 33-year-old says he's co-operating with the investigative process and is confident it'll clear his name.
