Joseph Parker could explore Joe Joyce rematch as he seeks another world title chance after Zhilei Zhang win

Joseph Parker's promoter has not ruled out the New Zealander targeting a rematch against Joe Joyce.

Joseph Parker's promoter David Higgins says the New Zealander could explore a rematch against Joe Joyce if it emerges as a better option than a second encounter with Zhilei Zhang. Parker is currently enjoying the best form of his career having convincingly beaten Deontay Wilder at the end of 2023 before recently overcoming two knockdowns to defeat Zhilei Zhang.

Higgins believes the standard of Parker's opponents should see him earn a world title shot before Anthony Joshua, who is coming off a devastating second-round knockout win over former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. 'He's interim WBO champion which means he's the automatic mandatory for the WBO title so if he's prepared to wait and things operate as they should he should be offered a title shot in due course,' Higgins added.
