Joseph Parker says his boxing suspension has been lifted and that he plans to resume his career “soon.” Multiple reports state that Parker was suspended after a failed drug test in November 2025. Sky Sports and Stuff.co.nz both report that he has now been cleared to fight again, following confirmation that the ban related to that test is no longer in effect. Sky News reports Parker made the announcement himself, describing the situation as his suspension being lifted, and adds that he intends to return to competition in the near term rather than specifying a particular date or opponent. Stuff.co.nz similarly frames the news as Parker being cleared to fight again after the failed test and subsequent suspension. None of the provided reports include details on the governing body’s decision-making process, the outcome of any appeal, or when Parker’s first bout after clearance will take place.
