    Yep if anything Huni is high risk low reward for Parker at this stage.

    Not going to happen. Only fight for Fury that makes any sense is AJ. Would probably be an 8 figure payday -- and he'd probably win. Nothing else is going to pay as much. And Parker might well beat him.

    What's stopping Joshua from fighting Parker, it would really be a great opportunity for Parker to avenge his defeat, Joshua is sitting on his ass waiting for the outcome of Usyk vs Dubois vs. II hoping for a possible opportunity...

    I think AJ only waits for Fury. He really doesn't want smoke with DDD again. Not to mention he clearly doesn't deserve the winner. But well... Foreman didn't deserve Moorer either and created a historic moment.

    For Parker?

    Hrgovic is pretty low risk - he doesn't hit hard enough to trouble someone with Parkers chin, and even at his best he gasses badly and hemorrhages rounds later on.

    The only thing is, he's limited reward as well - he doesn't bring ppv buys, so his value is primarily in ranking points... Which Parker isn't desperate for right now.

    It's a decent enough keep busy fight.

    Parker vs Kabayel. The winner can’t be denied a title shot.

    Parker vs. Kabayel on the undercard Usyk vs. Dubois II would be one of the best fights in the last few years, I recently stated that Kabayel would beat Parker because the forum member Kiwi Casual, whom I really appreciate as always, says about Hrgovic that he will lose, so I deliberately stated that, it is actually the fight that is the hardest for me to predict and I would not hesitate to pay to watch it...

    What Turki is planning to do with Parker? Thats the question.

    Will he help Parker get his title shot? Then Huni is the probable opponent.

    Will he use Parker to get Joshua his title shot? Then Joshua.

    Will he aim for legacy fights? Then Kabayel is the pick.

    Will he go for fun bouts? Then Dillian or Ruiz Jr. make sense.
