Joseph Parker says a boxing ban imposed on him has been lifted after he failed a drug test earlier this year. According to multiple reports, Parker, a New Zealand heavyweight, previously tested positive for cocaine before a bout in October, when he lost to fellow boxer Fabio Wardley. The sources state that the failed test followed the time period leading into that fight and that Parker now claims the restriction has been removed.
While the articles describe Parker’s claim that the ban has been lifted, they do not provide the full details of the ruling or any supporting documentation in the provided excerpts. The reports nonetheless consistently link the ban to the same positive cocaine test and to the same October loss to Wardley. At this stage, the information available in the summaries centers on Parker’s statement and the shared account of the test result and fight outcome.
