New Zealand boxer Joseph Parker got a double dose of good news today ahead of Thursday night's clash with Sherman Williams - his injured shoulder was cleared to fight and he got a significant boost up the world heavyweight rankings.
Parker passed a stern fitness test in Auckland today after visiting Dr John Mayhew, who reassessed the injury following Friday's consultation after Parker hurt the left shoulder in training.
Dr Mayhew inserted a cortisone injection into the problem area and declared he was comfortable with his condition. That was confirmed in the mind of the boxer and his trainer Kevin Barry when Parker got through four rounds of heavy pad work and weight-bearing exercise on top of sparring three rounds and skipping three rounds.
