Joseph Parker says he will return to ring 'soon' and that drugs ban has been 'lifted' following failed test last October

New Zealand heavyweight Joseph Parker announced his drugs ban has been 'lifted' and that he will return to boxing 'soon.' Parker had failed a routine Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency test on the night of his 11th-round stoppage defeat to Britain's Fabio Wardley at The O2 in October, with traces of cocaine detected. Parker, who denied knowingly taking any banned substances, had faced a potential two-year ban before his suspension was lifted.
