Parker’s no mug and I don’t think we’ve seen him at his best for a while.The Parker that came on the scene had fast hands himself. Respect for Usyk if he takes on Parker at Heavyweight in only his second fight.
Parker needs to leave that Kevin Barry, the relationship isn't teaching him anything new and he needs something to freshen him up.
Parker would be a good tune up fight for Usyk. It will help him prepare for real top contenders like Chisora.
Parker has no hunger and is too nice. 12 rounds against AJ and 11 against Whyte, he was just too nice. Finally he got up for in round 12 against Whyte when Whyte was gassing badly. Nearly won the fight. Needs to have that attitude from R1 though.
Without naming names one way or another, this latest update on the legal process mention that the high profile sportsman involved is "in his 30s", Parker being 27. That's enough for me to feel relieved https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/117821642/sport-star-appears-in-court-on-drug-charge
Not the brightest businessman, that Kiwi: Manager: “Joseph, we have a title fight for you — vs. Usyk for the WBO belt!” Parker: “No, I want Chisora. He accused me of being Spider-Man!!!”
