Joseph Parker Far From A Title Fight Against ‘AJ’ – “We Have Pretty Much Given Up On Joshua,” Says The Kiwi’s Promoter

Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder are dominating the heavyweight boxing headlines at the moment and it’s no wonder since the trash talk has been almost fierce lately. One fighter who is struggling to get fight talks going with Joshua right now is WBO World heavyweight champion, Joseph Parker.

The Kiwi boxer is reportedly close to signing a contract to fight former WBA champion, Lucas Browne. Parker’s promoter Dave Higgins has been trying to get Parker-Joshua done but negotiations with Eddie Hearn are not progressing.

And this is due to the latest offer sent by Hearn.

“I got this weird email from Eddie’s email address, but he must have been hacked. He made the most ridiculously low offer. It could have been the most insulting offer in boxing history,” said Higgins to Sky Sports.

The Duco Events promoter has spoken to Parker about the offer and the WBO champion was also not impressed.
