A fight between Joseph Parker and Joe Joyce could still be made, according to promoter Ben Shalom.
Joyce and Parker had been expected to agree to about but nothing was finalised, and Parker has since signed up with Shalom’s Boxxer outfit.
Despite the potential problems caused by two promotional companies rather than a single representative, Shalom is open to making the match-up.
"We put in a big offer. That's a fight he [Parker] wants," Shalom told Sky Sports. "He still wants the big fights. We put in a big offer to Joe Joyce.
"The great thing about Joseph is he wants to fight everyone and I expect him in a big fight in September, October."
Parker is a former WBO heavyweight champion and Shalom believes he may have the chance to win the strap back, or another of the major titles.
"He's very, very well ranked with the WBO and the WBC. It's a matter of time," Shalom explained.
"He's 30 years old. He's a lot younger than a lot of the heavyweights now and he's not taken a lot of punishment either. He's getting better and better with [trainer] Andy Lee. He's coming towards his prime now. That's his goal. He wants another world title shot.
"He's one of the youngest world champions we've seen and he wants to do it again."
