Former heavyweight master WBO, Joseph Parker, will have to wait a little longer for the occasion, which he earned in recovering the desired title of the highest level.

Fresh Zelander, who is in the form of his life after the victories over Deontay Wilder, Zhilei Zhang and Martin Bakole, is the current transient WBO champion.

After his crushing victory in the second round over Bakole in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in February, the president of WBO Gustavo Olivieri ordered Parker to see another pretender of the full owner of Oleksandr Usyk titles.

However, despite the fact that the contract from Usyk, Ukrainian and his team lobbyed WBO for their stay.

According to worldboxingnews.com only last week, the World Boxing Organization was clear about considering the Usyk’s conclusion despite the lack of compulsory defense since his reign began in 2021.

“Pay attention to the current facts about the WBO heavyweight department,” said Olivieri World Boxing News.

“There is a petition to consider the Utyt vs. Dubois permit before the championship committee [undisputed] unification to have priority over the mandatory [Parker]. That is why there is no official ruling in this case yet.

“After making the official decision of the Committee, we will formally announce it,” he added.

Usyk made one obligatory defense against Daniel Dubois in August 2023, on both sides of two fights against Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.

WBO is considering a request for UYYk’s proposal for a delay of a mandatory parker to fight Dubois in the rematch. This scenario means “Mr. I am very much, I feel that he will have only three different opponents in the last six duels in the title of the world.

It is said that Usyk and Dubois willingly signed a contract for the second fight this summer, leaving Parker outside the loop.

WBN understands that Parker may have the main place of support as a sweetener in the contract and get a shot in the undisputed championships in heavyweight until December this year.

Parker’s race was impressive after two wins over Derek Chisor, who ended with a nervous stop for Joe Joyce.

Since then, the 33-year-old [36-3, 24 KOs] He won six straightforward duels, but if WBO gives a stay, he still stands in the face of several months frigid.
