His dad played for Port Adelaide in the SANFL ... didn't know that. I just looked it up. I'm a 3rd generation Port supporter but have lost track of Magpies players in recent years. Used to live in Alberton just up from the oval.
Mkean fights in december, but that would be entertaining. As u said; a big risk vs a southpaw. at ths short notice you could get a prize fighter downunder.That's why i mentioned someone like David price but Im not sure of the uk travel restrictions. At this stage it would have to be aus or nz fighter - even coming from the u.s you still need to be quarantined, right? Do aussies need to be quarantined?
New Zealand i think is even stricter than Australia, as New Zealanders can come to certain parts of Australia but Australians can't go there without quarantining. That adds another hurdle for Parker bringing in a replacement even from just across the detch.
This content is protected In a shock developement, Israel Adesanya has agreed to the december terms...
22 days til fight. They still have time to fly someone in and quarintine them. And they can face joe parker.
Nope. New Zealand has some of the strictest quarantines in the world. It takes time. Also - Fa is a big name here. So no "replacement" will do.
Just like Danny Santiago was a big name in the states..hard to find someone else you can market the fight with.
Sadly, Komaster, Adesanya too is stuck in the USA for now. Could he have done a double spin leg kick on Parker? Of course!
