It may have been a minute amount but things look slightly more complex given his association with the Furys.
I thought he was guaranteed to fight for the vacant WBA belt in his next fight but I haven't been paying much attention to that situation, so I could definitely be wrong. Briggs doesn't have a punchers chance. He has no chance. Zero. None.
Joshua v Haye with Parker on the undercard is what I was originally hoping for. It still makes sense.
The WBA instructed Browne and Oquendo they had 30 days to get themselves set for a fight for the vacant WBA belt. That was close enough to 30 days ago.
Surely now it is a choice of two for Joshua : 1/ Wlad if the titles are freed up and all the other boxes can be ticked. 2/ Parker if the above cannot be fulfilled. With Haye sounding like he is on the undercard. If option one above happens, Parker could then fight Ruiz for the WBO title or wait until next year and fight his mandatory for the IBF title.
