    So Parker has had a few PPV fights against UK opponents. The first being against Hughie Fury YouTube. Then there was AJ and Whyte on Sky. Chisora 1 was PPV on Sky ( I think not 100%). Chisora 2 was a DAZN headliner. Then we had Joyce on BT PPV. So my question is now that he is signed with BOXXER could Parker headline a Sky card (in the UK)against a NON UK opponent or would that completely tank? Or does he need to keep having UK dance partners?

    Just a side note but Parker has had a lot of PPV fights here in the UK. He must have the most PPV,s for a non UK fighter here.

    Paint Dry's fight on Saturday is not PPV in New Zealand - the NZ PPV mugs have seen the light at long last.

    As Winston would say ' Never has one, earned so much loot, for delivering dog poo'

    He was never the same fighter after Joshua dealt with him. He made a mistake taking the Whyte fight on 8 weeks notice because otherwise he would have won. I felt like he lost a lot of confidence after being made to look average against Joshua. Probably his best win over a prime Parker on his resume after Klitschko.

    Paint Dry was never any good in the first place winning a vacant belt versus Rice Pudding Ruiz Jnr.

    Some real garbage picked up the vacated belts; Dell Boy Joshua, Paint Dry Parker, Ruiz Jnr, Charles Martin and Stiverne - all incredibly World Champions and every one in the Hall of Puddings.

    The fight was a snoozefest once the ref blocked any fighting on the inside. We saw why no inside fighting was allowed when Parker victim Andy Ruiz dealt with him a year later. I like how you say 'prime Parker' as well as if he was some sort of ATG to boost little AJs resume like you matchroom folk love to do. The cards in the AJ Parker fight were also a joke. A fight that was a fix from the moment it was announced. Are you sure you're not mitch haha.

    As @littlebrain said, his next fight is free to air here on three. There's very little interest for him down here now.

    I only ask the legends not puddings.

    Got photos with Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Tyson Fury, Frank Bruno, Vitali Klitschko and George Foreman in the Heavyweight Division.

    If I met Rice Pudding Ruiz Jnr, I would ask him for a chip before thanking him for the Humble demolition.

    You would’ve met him if you went to KFC drive through the day of the fight at MSG

    Don't blame the fighters, blame the system.

    The system should be where your true venting deserves to be directed.

    Surprised people don't see this.

    For me he defo would need a UK dance partner to headline a Sky show, although more than enough brits know about him, he's not a big enough draw (anymore).

    Whyte rematch would be ideal.

    He could do with crawling out of Furys arse.

    Whyte rematch would make sense for him, Dillian won't take it though.
