JOSEPH PARKER RECORD

36-3 (24 KOs)

Joseph Parker boasted an undefeated record before his showdown with Anthony Joshua resulted in the Briton inflicting his first defeat by unanimous points decision.

The Kiwi looked to bounce back against Dillian Whyte but suffered another loss, with Parker forced to rebuild. A crushing loss to Joe Joyce in September 2022 suggested he may never be an elite heavyweight again but Parker went about defying his critics.

Victories over Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang thrust Parker back into the heavyweight spotlight and the former WBO champion claimed his 36th professional win by dispatching Martin Bakole at the start of 2025.
