You have it backwards. The question you should be asking is "Does Parker deserve a title shot". Ruiz has absolutely no need to do a rematch with Parker unless he earns a title shot.
Ikr. roflmao, ROBBERY@!#$ https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11766743 There's one honest guy in NZ!
This question should be reversed. Ruiz is now the unified HW champion. Parker has lost two of his last 3 and it can be argued he really should have 3 losses in his last four. (close fights and decisions aside) Ruiz has no reason to come on bended knee begging for a rematch. Parker honestly isn't even in the position to request a title fight at the moment.
and boom just like that Parker gets his title shot again. fair play to him, probably didnt expect a payday or the shot at a few belts so easily. obvs it depends on ruiz wanting to level the playing fields
