    Pity they leaked the news early.

    Opponent makes sense before Joshua

    Dimitrenko is a complete ***** and this fight will never happen. Dimitrenko got floored by feather fisted Chambers for Christ sakes.

    Obviously Dimitrenko is no threat to Parker, but as I said before, no way they would risk Parker's mandatory shot at cash cow Joshua at this stage.

    Dimitrenko is a suitable opponent to stay busy against. He has the size of Joshua, so Parker gets used to dealing with a bigger man and we perhaps get an insight as how Parker approaches a fight with a bigger man.

    I'm happy with the matchup. Makes more sense than a Whyte or Browne fight.

    I'll believe it when i see it!

    dimitrenko was lined up to fight shannon briggs recently and then about 3 days before the fight dimitrenko said he knew nothing about it?

    In the 6 fights Dimitrenko has had since Pulev, his opponents combined records have been 54-59-0.....

    Seems like a cash out for him

    this is a worthless fight. except for making some cash for the promoter. Fighting a light hitter with a suspect chin makes for a good way tp pad the record. I say Parker by KO via light jab 2nd round if he playing iy safe. :deal:-(

    No, he's not!

    Then Parker is 6''6': [url]http://www.ringpolska.pl/images/stories/575/U/ugonoh_vegas.jpg[/url]

    Izu is leaning back slightly in that photo.

    Parker also may be slightly above 6'4" these days.

    DIMITRENKO or TBA as he's known.

    Yep, Izu is definitely 6ft 5 and has a similar reach to Anthony Joshua - Parker is a "healthy" 6ft 4, I laugh out loud when I see people claim he's 6ft 2 to 6 ft 3.... when he's in the same ring as Anthony Joshua there may be some people surprised when Joshua doesn't look like the BFG next to Parker, so much as being maybe a forehead taller.

    On another forum we have been talking about the fact that the Kali Meehan fight was the last time Parker looked in really top gear right throughout.

    I wonder why he has looked less sharp ever since?
