JAKARTA Joseph Parker is said to really hope Oleksandr Usyk will undergo a mandatory match for the WBO heavyweight world champion.
Usyk spectacularly reunited four major heavyweight belts after he defeated Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium, London, England, on Saturday, July 19, 2025.
Parker, who is the WBO interim title winner, is the next mandatory challenger. To that end, the New Zealand fighter hopes that the clashes will not be missed by Usyk.
"Joseph hopes and prays that Usyk will defend his honor as the undisputed champion, which not many people have been able to achieve lately," said David

According to reports, WBO has ordered a mandatory heavyweight match between the two names. Reportedly, the agency gave both of them 30 days to negotiate.
They said they really hope to fight Usyk and want the game to be held before the end of the year.
"We hope that Usyk wants to defend his power as heavyweight champion and will carry out unification against Joseph," he said.
Usyk has twice been the undisputed champion in the heavyweights and has never lost a professional fight. One world champion was undisputed before he got when he won over Tyson Fury last year.
Even though there is a mandatory duel, Usyk can still empty the WBO belt and defend the IBF, WBA, and WBC titles.
Overall, Usyk is three times undisputed world champion. Before the heavyweights, he had achieved the same feat when he was in cruiserweight.
