Boxing: Promoter Ben-Shalom makes a ‘big offer’ for the heavyweight clash between Parker and Joyce

Posted at: June 24, 2022

Boxing: BOXXER promoter Ben-Shalom has revealed that a fight between heavyweight rivals Joseph Parker and Joe Joyce could take place.

Parker recently signed a new promotional agreement with BOXXER, and Shalom has offered to stage the Joyce fight on Sky Sports.

“We put in a big offer. That’s a fight he [Parker] wants,” Shalom told Sky Sports News. “He still wants the big fights. We put in a big offer to Joe Joyce.”

Frank Warren promotes Joyce, who fights Christian Hammer on July 2. Shalom is hoping to fight Parker later this year.

“I know they won’t want Joe going on the Sky platform but for me, it’s a big fight. So why not go raise your profile, have a big fight on Sky Sports Box Office and still get to return,” Shalom said.

“The great thing about Joseph is he wants to fight everyone and I expect him in a big fight in September, October.”

Another high-profile fight Parker is eyeing is a rematch with Dillian Whyte.

The next fight for the New Zealander will have global ramifications. Parker is a former world champion who is closing in on a rematch.

“He’s very, very well ranked with the WBO and the WBC. It’s a matter of time,” Shalom added.

“He’s 30 years old. He’s a lot younger than a lot of the heavyweights now and he’s not taken a lot of punishment either. He’s getting better and better with [trainer] Andy Lee. He’s coming towards his prime now. That’s his goal. He wants another world title shot.

“He’s one of the youngest world champions we’ve seen and he wants to do it again.”
