Former WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker tested positive for cocaine on the day of his Oct. 25 loss to Fabio Wardley in England, The Sun reported. Queensberry Promotions said VADA notified parties of an adverse finding and offered no further comment while it is investigated. UK Anti-Doping and the British Boxing Board of Control will reportedly decide any punishment; The Sun mentioned a possible two-year ban. Parker, 33, may request a B sample test. Wardley stopped him in the 11th round. A source close to Parker said they were “absolutely shocked.”
