Joseph Parker has confirmed he is fighting on the Joshua-Ngannou undercard

I think its the former

 

Since the Zhang fight Hrgovic has fought Demsey Mckean and Mark De mori. It’s blatantly obvious he is sitting out and waiting for his title shot whenever that may be.

You constantly bitching and moaning in multiple posts about how embarrassing it is for Joshua to not be fighting him isn’t going to change that.

 

He's not going to make the same mistake Joyce and Boytsov made.

 

Parker gets a bum rap on here, paint dry Parker etc but he fights anyone and his record matches up pretty good against anyone else fighting heavyweight in this era.

 

Yea Hrgovic has also been fighting awful opposition, again on the same card as AJ when the two should be fighting each other.

Nothing any of us say on the forum will change anything, we aren't the decision makers, we're fans giving our opinions on a website designed for fans to give boxing opinions lol, it's literally the purpose of the website.

You don't need to get emotional about it, I just rate AJ higher than you do and so hold him to a higher standard than you do. I think he's capable of competing at a higher level than this and want to see him justify that. You don't care who he fights, you just want him to earn as much money as possible.

 

Easily my favourite HW after Usyk.

The guy is at least genuine which cannot be said for many of the others.

 

Parker showing up AJ, not once but twice. This is priceless.
First Wilder while AJ fights Wallin.
Then a true contender while AJ fights the mma fighter.
AJ fans, defend your spineless idol now.

 

Looks like Wilder chickened out of the Zhang fight.

 

Tough fights for Parker, but with the right game plan he can beat em.

 

So AJ gets the easy fight while Parker shows he is the real man of the night.

 

Would love to see both Parker V Hrgovic and Wilder V Zhang on the undercard.

 

Are you hoping Wilder gets decapitated or something mate?

He should retire. He's cooked.

 

If he really really feels he has something to prove and will actually be prepared to suffer and go to hell then I'd love to see him in again but I agree he is way past his prime and he should absolutely retire if he has any second thoughts.

I made a post saying Wilder should retire if his mind isn't in the sport. After I made the post, there were talks of Zhang V Wilder, it did shock me if im honest - I've got this feeling that if Wilder takes this fight, he really has something to prove as this is a brutal match-up.

 

I’m a Parker fan so I’m stoked that he beat wilder, but you can’t question wilders toughness. He went life or death x3 with fury and got shut out totally by Parker, but he didn’t quit, he had an easy way out at the end of the eighth but didn’t take it. I don’t think he is that washed, he is just the same as always.

 

Yeah when the news came out that Wilder was looking at Zhang that was a shock. I'll be surprised if it happens given his track record and that he's coming off a loss but if he does sign to fight Zhang next then Kudos to Wilder for taking such a risky fight and it would show as you say he clearly has something to prove and casts doubt on the idea he's mentally checked out of the game as others have eluded to.
