Information has been officially confirmed that on July 2, the former heavyweight champion Joseph Parker (30-2, 21 KOs) will face Joe Joyce (13-0, 12 KOs) in London. A few days ago, Frank Warren announced that a preliminary agreement had been reached on this matter.
It is possible that an interim WBO heavyweight title will be at stake in this meeting. Boxers occupy the top two places in the World Boxing Organization rankings, and Joyce already has the status of an official contender for the championship belt.
The Briton won against Carlos Takam in his last performance. The last time Parker boxed was in December, winning for the second time on points against Derek Chisora.
