Joseph Parker’s manager, David Higgins, insists that Oloxander Usyk has not made any discussion about the compulsory WBO defense.
On July 24, Usyk was ordered to defend its heavy -duty crown against a temporary Parker.

Before the WBO continues with the wallet offering, both parties were given 30 days to agree.
Usyk united WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO titles last month by handling Daniel Dubois at Wemley Stadium.
But if he decides not to defend Parker, he can be deprived of the latter.
The Kiwi Higgins manager believes that this could be a real possibility because USYK is still not in contact with the relevant parties more than a week after the WBO letter issued.
“The last time I talked to Frank Warren (which promotes Parker in England) had no interaction,” Higgins said to Sky Sports.
“That’s what I was told, a few days ago.
“This is boxing, whatever can happen. You really don’t have anything inside or outside.
“But I think if he wanted to refrain from the heavyweight world titles and discuss them.
If USYK decides to go another route, Parker will probably go up again to the full WBO world champion.
The 33 -year -old held a red and gold strap between 2016 and 2018 before he was eventually destroyed by Anthony Joshua in Cardiff.

If this is proven, then the winner of Moses ITAUMA VS Dillian Howte on August 16 can act as Parker’s first defense.
ITAUMA is currently the highest heavyweight by WBO.
The main body of the boycott puts him in ranking # 1 – a position he climbed in May after Mike Balun straightened.
Parker hopes to have a chance to fight for all four world titles against USYK.
But in the heart of his heart, there is clearly the feeling that he is unaware of him.
Parker told Talksport.com last month: “When he was asked after the conflict (about my confrontation) it seemed a little resistant.
“He named a few names, but I was last on that list. He pointed to Tyson, (derek) Chisora and Anthony Joshua before me.”
