Former world heavyweight boxing champion Joseph Parker has been officially cleared to fight again following the lifting of his provisional suspension. Parker had been suspended in October after failing a voluntary drug test.
While the initial failed test stemmed from a positive result for cocaine, Parker consistently denied taking any prohibited substances throughout the disciplinary process. With his suspension now lifted, the heavyweight contender is eligible to return to competitive boxing.
