    I don't think he looks like he believed it when he said "That isn't going to be me" in regards to him being knocked out.

    Now that is how fighters are supposed to act, not that Wall Street banker stuff the Klits were so fond of boring people with.

    My guess is Joshua won't respond or will respond with a NO.

    In a perfect boxing world the fight would happen ASAP, and the winner gets to move on and eliminate the next hype.

    No way the fight would be in New Zealand, Joshua is the draw here, if it happens it will be in the UK.

    Props to Parker for calling him out. Get it on.

    I think Parker's having trouble getting an opponent for April, thus the callout.

    No so.
    They are about even in popularity and New Zealanders will turn out in force if it were held there.
    I don't care if they fought in Jamaica. Just make the fight happen.

    Parker by KO, too fast and better stamina. AJ had his hands full with DW who looked epileptic and unco

    Probably the most accurate statement about Dillian I've seen on here.

    No way in hell will the fight happen in New Zealand so I hope Parker and his team aren't counting on that when ever the fight negotiations take place. I dont think they will fight each other in 2016 though

    I like this guy, so sick of these ****ing tune up and easy fights that prospects and champions are having. It's rare that we even get a deecnt fight and this would for sure be one, get it on. No shame whoever loses, both top prospects.

    Parker always comes across as a very likable person in interviews. Great prospect too.

    Don't kid yourself. Parker is a big fish in a little pond in New Zealand.

    Joshua just headlined a PPV fight and according to Hearn made 4 times as much as Wilder made in his last fight. That means his made $5.6 million USD or $8.4 million NZD.

    The highest paid New Zealand sports person in 2015 was not Parker but Russell Coutts who made $13 million NZD in 2015. Joshua in his last fight probably made more than Parker's entire career earnings.

    Joshua is already one of the biggest draws at heavyweight it's why Martin a title holder is calling out a 15 fight novice and why Parker is now calling him out. Joshua is where the cash is.
