Joseph Parker is free to resume his boxing career after the provisional suspension that sidelined him for more than seven months was lifted.

The decision ends a lengthy absence that began after Parker returned a positive cocaine test on the day of his October 25, 2025, bout with Fabio Wardley in London. Parker consistently maintained he never knowingly ingested any prohibited substance.

“I’m pleased to confirm my provisional suspension is lifted and I’ll be back in the ring soon,” Parker said in a statement provided to ESPN. “I’ve been advised to say no more for now while details are finalized. Thank you
