    Not sure how many people have followed or been concerned about this, but since 2014 the Parker camp have been making lowkey mentions of shoulder and elbow issues before and after fights and they have become more frequent and higher-key... when it came up before the Cojanu fight I started really worrying about how it was going to affect his career as it clearly has an impact on his power and speed, as well as his preparations.

    I'd be REALLY hoping that the dialling down of fight frequency etc allows time for him to get on top of those and get everything else sorted out so he can come out fresh and in top conditions - it sounds like this fight is finally the one, which couldn't be better timed. Would love to see Parker's speed and power back to full force along with the things he has learned in the last few fights!

    Good because he needs to KO Fury. If he loses I have a bad feeling that the Fury's will hold that WBO title hostage for a long time.

    Good thing for Parker that now he can just fight 3 times per year instead of 5.

    Great news

    Parker will have to win by knockout, he can't win a decision in the UK, no way. That fight is a flop..................should have been made in Australia.........................
