    A body blow to boxing fans expecting a Joseph Parker-Anthony Joshua rematch

    A body blow to boxing fans expecting a Joseph Parker-Anthony Joshua rematch


    It comes amid uncertainty for the former WBO champ's future plans, with confirmation of an undisputed heavyweight title fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois for July at Wembley.

    One name that's been tossed around other than the titleholders is Anthony Joshua - who beat Parker back in 2018.

    But Parker's manager David Higgins says the risk-return means Joshua's unlikely to take the fight.
