Andy Lee says Joseph Parker will wait for Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois winner
Andy Lee has claimed that rather than take an interim bout, Joseph Parker will wait to see what happens with Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois.
The trainer is adamant that his fighter has earned a shot at the throne.
In an interview with IFL TV, the former WBO middleweight world champion said: “It’s quite a frustrating time for Joseph. He was meant to fight in July, August and September.
“Now, it looks like we’re going to wait to see what happens between Dubois and Usyk. He’s the mandatory challenger for the WBO and has earned the right to fight for the title, so that’s our aim.”
