World title fight

Parker not interested in Olympics

The International Amateur Boxing Federation has opened the door for professionals to compete at Rio, but Parker's camp says they've never considered it and their priority is a world title fight.

Promoter Dean Lonergan says Parker has always been fully focussed on winning a professional world title.

Parker is preparing for his next bout against former NRL player Solomon Haumono in Christchurch in July.

All going to plan Parker could get a tilt at Anthony Joshua's IBF heavyweight belt at the end of the year.
