Joseph Parker says his provisional suspension has been lifted, clearing the former WBO heavyweight champion to resume his career after the drug-test case tied to his Fabio Wardley fight-night cocaine test. I’m pleased to confirm my provisional suspension is lifted and I’ll be back in the ring soon. Joseph Parker has officially had his provisional UKAD suspension lifted and has been cleared to return to the ring. Parker previously denied knowingly taking a banned substance, and the lifted provisional suspension now removes the immediate barrier to his return. His current public statement only says he will be back in the ring “soon,” with final details still being completed.
