Former world boxing champion Joseph Parker can finally be named as the high-profile sportsman linked to an international drugs ring.
Customs removed a flag on boxer Joseph Parker’s international travel file allowing him to leave the country, before police were able to execute a search warrant over allegations he was linked to an international drugs ring, police documents reveal.
Parker’s name was repeatedly mentioned at the 2019 High Court trial of three men later jailed for their part in an international drug syndicate.
In 2018, as detectives were preparing their case against the trio, they were also investigating whether the former world heavyweight champion was involved in buying and supplying cocaine.
