Joseph Parker signs with Matchroom.

Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing have signed a three-fight promotional contract with New Zealand’s former WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker. Josephs opening bout will be on June 29th on the Matchroom USA card in Providence, Rhode Island on the undercard of Demetrius Andrade’s WBO middleweight title defense against Maciej Sulecki.. Parker will more than likely meet former two time world title challenger Eric Molina, live on DAZN in the US and Sky Sports in the United Kingdom.. Colourful former advisor David Higgins will remains as part of Joseph Parker’s management team under Matchroom..
Joseph, whom is currently training in Las Vegas alongside Tyson Fury at Kevin Barry’s training HQ, is very serious about relaunching himself with a view to regaining the championship in 2020..
“My six-year promotional contract with Duco Events ended on March 26, It was a wonderfully successful partnership – so much so that David Higgins will always be part of my team, advocating in my best interests in a management capacity.”
Interestingly, the only two men to beat Parker, Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte are the two headline fighters at Matchroom and are now stablemates of the New Zealander..
