What is next for Joseph Parker, and when might his return be expected?

Parker can still win a belt today

And he may one day be glad for the enforced rest he took over the last year

 

Maybe if he were to fight Gassiev

If Itauma were to beat Hrgovic, I can see him granting Parker a shot as he has gone on record saying he is confident of beating him

Dubois and Kabayel will beat him

 

I'd favour Parker over Gassiev and Dubios. Itauma I'm not so sure of, same with Kabayel as they present rather unique challenges imo.

 

Depends on if his team sort their **** out or not. I don't like this kronk approach

 

Yes some people care, that is why we are on page 4 of the thread smart ass.

 

Chisora wants another payday with anyone. If I were Zhangs management I'd schedule Chirsora and have Zhang beat the demented one half to death in 2 rounds.

 

Relax Curtis

 

I think a fight around October/ November with Ahio in NZ would do pretty well, or McKean in Australia with a proper Trans-Tasman undercard. Parker and Huni are in that same high-risk, low-reward bracket for me, so a clash between the two makes sense once Parker has shaken off some of the rust.

 

Joseph Parker dominated Deontay Wilder.

 

Parker needs to get into Mando status

To get the top fights

 

Whoever loses is finished at elite level so why do it? There is room for Parker and Huni to take a run for a title chance while they can...
Be good to see JP - Humi and Termoana in top 10

 

Finished? I don't agree with that. A loss doesn't necessarily mean a fighter is finished at elite level. Joe has shown that to be true himself. Imo Parker needs Huni more than Huni needs him right now, mainly because I'm not sure where Joe lands for a promoter but as I said they are both in that high-risk, low reward category so they may end up needing each other as an eliminator or towards a mandatory position. Joe could find himself top 3 with the WBO based on upcoming results but I don't think Usyk or Joshua will show much interest in him unless it's an eliminator or for the mandatory position.

 

I think @Kiwi_in_America might actually be Parker

Every time Parker goes missing for any period of time so does he

 

Correct.

I am indeed Parker.

 

And here was me thinking you were the Tuaminator!
