Parker doesn't want to fight Hrgovic either

Joseph Parker

As Dan Raphael tweeted, Joseph Parker (30-2, 21 KOs), as well as Luis Ortiz (33-2, 28 KOs) previously decided not to accept the IBF's offer to compete in the final qualifying bout with Filip Hrgovic (14-0, 12 KOs).

Now, the offer to cross the gloves with the undefeated Croat will go to the next IBF heavyweight in the rankings, which has yet to be updated since Saturday night in Hollywood.

The next boxers on the IBF contender list are Anthony Joshua (who has a guaranteed three-title fight with Alexander Usyk), Tony Yoka, Joe Joyce (who is also a mandatory WBO contender) and Agit Kabayel.
