Parker’S major breakthrough fight came in november of 2018 when he was awarded the verdict in a split decision battle against daryl williams, to win the british title.

Unfortunately, this success um came at a cost and a period out of the ring followed due to a dislocated shoulder sustained early uh in the first round of the fight that required of that fight that required triple surgery.

So you know the guys had his uh.

You know had some had some serious things to go over and uh, you know, take care of with uh with a triple surgery: man, that’s pretty bad, it’s hard to bounce back from stuff like that, but after making a routine uh a routine return.

Six months later, parker then reinforced his number one status with the wbo by winning international title with a late stoppage of his closest rival in the rankings.

The australian rohan murdoch uh in march of uh last year, uh the current wbo world super middle title champion.
