Craig Parker, the boxer laid 14 years through WBA, before Jake Paul replaced him uncertainly, he told the organization to support the decision.
Speaking only with World Boxing News, Parker reacted to the news that WBA bosses are planning to consider Paul’s ranking again.
The Ring magazine stated that WBA had complained about boxers’ complaints after Paul’s assessment on number 14 and dropping Parker on number 15.
Parker was abandoned by one place, even though he did not make his foot in 20 duels. The American former national champion has 20 knockouts from his 20 wins and will choose number 21 August 5.
No official complaint
Asked if he was one of the ranking boxers who lodged a complaint to WBA, Parker said WBN: “No, my team and I did not feel the need for it.
“I spoke publicly not only for myself, but for many boxers who felt the same. It was enough. Now I am closed in what I do and what will happen next (August 5).
What he thinks about the review of WBA’s Paul’s assessment, Parker replied: “I think that if they put him there, stand on them. It is on them.
“Now it gives him a chance to enter the ring with real warriors, guys like me who deserved him for a long time.”
I hope everyone has a great weekend. I was content last night #Paulchavezjr Show and an unforgettable atmosphere. At the moment I am just enjoying my Sunday with my queen. Please, haters save some energy on Tuesday when I talk about it @Jakepaul@Wbaboxing Ranking in … pic.twitter.com/ome94ju2h0
WBN then asked Parker if he would accept ranking number 14 if WBA removed Paul. He replied: “I don’t chase #14. I chase the mountain.
“Regardless of whether they improve it or not, my goal is to climb constantly until he denies who I am.”
The Country Box promoters revealed the next Parker fight in Trubadour Theater in Nashville next month, within eight rounds.
Parker aims to achieve another victory, which can even raise the WBA Cruiser WWWEight list.

Oscar Collazo remained undefeated and won the WBO International flyweight title on Saturday night with a devastating two-round victory over Neider Valdez.
The unified WBA, WBO and Ring Magazine minimumweight champion improved to 15-0 with 12 knockouts after defeating Valdez three times before Mexico’s corner stopped the fight at 2:35 of the second round.
Making his final appearance at 112 pounds, Collazo showed his strength immediately transferred to the upper division, defeating Valdez from the opening bell at Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California.
The Puerto Rican striker repeatedly found a home for his left hand and left no doubt about the outcome before the fight was called off.
“I felt great at 112 pounds. I love this division. In fact, I want to stay here for a long time,” Collazo said.
Knockdowns
Collazo admitted that he had already called for the fight to be stopped.
“After the third knockdown I was basically saying, ‘Never again, never again’. It was the right decision for his safety. His corner was well checked.

The victory added another belt to Collazo’s collection and enhanced his growing reputation as one of boxing’s most invigorating champions in the lower weight division.
Looking ahead, Collazo has made it clear who he wants next.
“The fight with Ricardo Sandoval definitely interests me. I really want that fight. I’m ready for gigantic fights. I’m ready to make history. That’s the fight I want next.”
Sandoval currently holds the WBA flyweight title, making this one of the most attractive fights available if Collazo continues his climb in weight.
The event was broadcast live on DAZN and was promoted by Golden Boy Promotions in partnership with Miguel Cotto Promotions.
