    Well, looks like Parker will be fighting someone else for the WBO title.

    He's waited a long time, so hopefully it will happen soon.

    I think Parker-Kabayel would be ideal. Warren would be foolish to put Itauma in with Parker right now, I imagine he won't.

    Honestly I didn't expect that. Wonder if the WBO didn't fancy pushing for evidence of injury etc. publicly for some reason or asked quietly and were told it wouldn't be forthcoming.

    Damn. Honestly rather my boy Parker got his shot and lost than got elevated tbh.

    3 days left but it feels like it'll take a miracle to get the fight made.

    I think it will be Parker - Itauma

    Frank seems keen on that fight

    I wouldn't bet against that one.
    Chisora is about to go crazy trying to get a shot at Parker for his 50th though hahaha

    Usyk is going to end up becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion like 5 times.

    I'd be very surprised if Parker took that fight. He's already beaten him twice

    Parker-Ituama soon to be announced?

    Or Usyk-Ituama with Parker fighting someone else?

    The WBO didn't hesitate asking Bivol for medical evidence. Looks more a case of the WBO just applying their own rules.

    Unless Usyk bins the WBO belt, Usyk-Itauma would have to involve an agreement from Parker and that is likely to cost substantial stand aside money.

    WBO will call for purse bids

    And Usyk will then vacate

    Then Parker makes even more money in another "unification" fight

    So Parker gets a shot off of beating very old Zhang, shot Wilder and then a fill-in.
    He should have to fight at least Croatian or the Kebabyal or someone not half dead.
