Bombazo! Joseph Parker explodes against Oleksandr Ussyk for rejecting his fighting offer … the truth will leave you in shock!

At 10:08 PM +07 on Sunday, July 27, 2025, the boxing world is trembling after an explosive reaction of Joseph Parker, the former heavyweight champion, who launched a incendiary verbal attack against Oleksandr Usyk for allegedly rejecting an offer for a high profile combat. In a live interview at 10:00 pm +07 in a New Zealand chain, Parker lashed out: “Usyk is avoiding me, it’s a cowardice! I accepted the fight, but he threw himself back.” This confrontation arrives at a critical moment, after Ushk’s dominant victory over Daniel Dubois on July 19 and the recent invincibility statements by boxing legends. The dispute has unleashed a whirlwind of speculation, leaving fans in shock and eager to know the truth behind this rejection.

The context of tension

Oleksandr Usyk, 38, consolidated his status as an undisputed tricampeón of the heavy ones with a knockout in the fifth round against Daniel Dubois, connecting 88 of 359 blows (24.5%) according to Compuboux, compared to 47 of 290 of Dubois (16.2%). This victory, held against 90,000 fans in Wembley, follows its impeccable 24-0 reign and has been backed by legends such as Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko, who today affirmed that Usyk could never lose. However, Dubois’s accusations of having been “forced to lose” and Usyk’s fierce defense have maintained their name in the center of the controversy.

Joseph Parker, 33, with a record of 34-3 and recent victories about Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang, has emerged as a serious contender in the division. After his triumph by unanimous decision against Zhang on March 8, 2025, Parker expressed interest in facing Ushk, seeing an opportunity to claim elite status. Informal negotiations between their teams and promoters, including Turki Alalshikh by Riyadh Season, seemed to move forward, but Usyk’s apparent rejection has triggered this explosion.

Parker’s explosion

At 10:00 pm +07, during an interview on TVNZ, Parker let his frustration out: “I offered a fair fight, with everything at stake, but Usyk is avoiding me. It’s a cowardice! I accepted the terms, but his team said no. What’s happening?” The New Zealander, known for his quiet character, accused Usyk of prioritizing less risky fights and suggested that Ukrainian fears facing him after his resurgence. Parker also questioned the support of legends, saying: “If it’s so invincible, why don’t you face me? This smells bad.”

The timing of his outburst, just after the statements of Lewis and Klitschko, suggests that Parker sees an opportunity to challenge Usyk’s invincibility narrative. His team has confirmed that a formal offer was sent a week ago, but did not receive a specific response, feeding the suspicions of a deliberate rejection.

Reactions and speculation

Social networks are burning, with #Parkervsusyk and #usykcobarde Trending at 10:08 pm +07. Parker fans support his challenge, with tweets like “Joseph deserves that fight, Usyk is fleeing!” While Usyk followers defend the champion, arguing: “Parker is not at their level, it’s pure talk.” Analysts like Teddy Atlas suggest that Usyk could be reserving for a more lucrative fight, as a third confrontation with Tyson Fury, while others see a Parker’s attempt to gain relevance.

Speculations point to influences from Turki Alalshikh, who has invested millions in Riyadh Season fights. Some believe that Usyk rejected Parker on the orders of Alalshikh to prioritize Saudi events, while others suggest that the USYK team fears a surprise from Parker, who has improved his defense and power since his defeat against Usyk in 2018 (majority decision). The lack of official confirmation maintains the mystery.

What does this mean?

If Usyk rejected the offer, he could damage his image of invincibility, forcing him to justify his decision or face cowardice criticism. For Parker, this explosion could ensure fight, especially if you press Alalshikh for an event in Riyadh. The WBC and the WBO could intervene if the title is at stake, but the NSAC does not have jurisdiction out of Nevada. Financially, a Parker vs. USYK would be a success, with estimates of 50 million dollars at the box office and PPV.

At 10:08 PM +07, while the controversy grows, the boxing world awaits Usyk’s response. Parker’s explosion not only challenges the champion, but could redefine the heavy division in the months to come, with the truth behind the rejection ready to surprise everyone.
