New Zealand heavyweight boxer Joseph Parker has claimed a significant rise in his world rankings, knocking on the door of the top 10.
On a day when Parker was cleared of any major damage to his problem left shoulder ahead of Thursday night's fight with Sherman Williams in Auckland, he received an injection of faith from the WBA organisation who updated their rankings yesterday and lifted Parker from No 15 to No 11 in a division headed by world champion Wladirmir Klitschko.
Parker is the WBA's Pan Asian heavyweight champion. He is also ranked at No 14 by the WBO as their Oriental champion. He puts both belts on the line against Williams.
Barry said the rankings rise was a reflection of the work Parker had put in and the growing respect he was earning.
