Former heavyweight champion Joseph Parker has denied using banned substances after failing a drugs test that showed traces of cocaine, taken on the day of his fight against Fabio Wardley, which he lost. He stated he is “confident” he will be cleared and emphasized his commitment to not using performance-enhancing drugs. The British Boxing Board of Control is investigating the matter, and Parker could face a two-year ban as a result. This incident follows a series of six victories since his 2022 loss to Joe Joyce, making the situation particularly challenging for him.
