    To wait or not to wait

    To wait or not to wait


    That's the question for boxer Joseph Parker following confirmation of the undisputed heavyweight title fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois in July.

    The Kiwi-Samoan was set to challenge Dubois for the IBF title in February, before an illness forced the Brit to withdraw.

    Parker's manager David Higgins says there's talk over whether his charge should look for another opponent or hold off to challenge the undisputed bout's victor.
