    In his recent IFL iinterview, Tony Bellew said he isn't retiring and wants a couple more fights. When asked when he will be back he didn't mention this supposed hand injury, but mentioned Parker and Wilder being on his hitlist!

    Joseph Parker has said in past he will fight Tony Bellew.

    Bellew v Parker could sell a few tickets, Bellew managed to have his cruiserweight title fight at Goodison Park so they could both be in for a payday if it happens in UK (Which probably makes most sense business wise)

    I expect many HWs would like to face Bellew and doubt as many of the same HWs would have been as interested in facing Haye before Bellew got a win over him

    Will he fight on May 6th? Short notice but Parkers next fight is due very soon.

    With Hughie pulling out - Id imagine Duco will be looking to keep the May 6th fight night going with someone.

    He wasn't in the wbo March rankings but he beat David haye who was number one. Given Parker has to fight someone in the wbo top 15 surely he must be an option. I would guess breazeale would hold the most appeal to team Parker, but maybe not to the fans.

    We actually would rather see Wilder next but he and Breazeale arent in the top 10 for the WBO. I saw Miller, Fedesov and Price. Miller would be nice but Wilder would be great!

    Wilder would be a valid option as it would be a unification - he isn't ranked because he has a title in another org

    Probably not May 6th, but if they struggle to get an opponent and postpone the fight Bellew would definitely be an option, think every HW sees Bellew as an easy payday haha

    Sure Wilder would be the best, but he is not coming on two weeks notice. Breazeale is number 6. Are you sure you are looking at the right list? Price is not in the top 15

    Bellew is injured at the moment and may still need surgery on his hand, won't fight again until November-December.

    I just googled 'world heavyweight boxing rankings' and I get this.
    http://www.boxing.com/ranking

    Is undefeated Miller on that list? Miller is highly ranked on that list I provided. Cos I know Joe was looking at Miller before so hes more likely than Breazeale who I think is in legal disputes with Wilder.

    Bellew wouldn't walk into a guaranteed KO loss on 2 weeks notice, that guy has all the options in the world right now.

    Yea I thought that, but as I mentioned in the ifl interview the injury wasn't even mentioned and Kugan was joking Bout a summer return for Bellew, which he replied saying "You never know" etc..

    Obviously could be (And probably is) just Bellew joking around
