    Well maybe he isn't injured. I do know he wanted some time off after the Dubois fight so maybe this is his way of getting that time.

    Parker says he’s chasing the next shot, though step-aside money has a funny way of making guys change course.

    Any number of things might be going on. Or nothing at all. Funny thing is, the media don't even seem to be interested in finding out.

    Nothing has changed.

    I think WBO will follow through as normal - with a call for Purse Bids within the next 2 weeks

    And Usyk will vacate

    2 weeks? Where did you pluck the timeframe from?

    Officially, that is according to the WBO's own written and signed correspondence, the 30 day deadline was from July 22 to August 22. That expired nearly a week ago and there has been no further word.

    Purse bids are called perhaps 10 days to several weeks after that deadline.

    Usyk's team will be notified and probably vacate at that point

    Purse bids are usually called as soon as the 30 days has elapsed. In this case, that was nearly a week ago and counting.

    At the very least, the WBO should have already announced that the parties had failed to come to an agreement within the allotted 30 days.

    For a laugh,

    Parker's team should bid to host the fight in NZ for a million $$$$
