What is a good realistic next fight for Parker?

In a world where the best fight the best?
Considering Dubois and Usyk are tied up Agit Kabayel is head and shoulders above the rest for me, so that's the fight to make. I think we know both these guys would take the fight too. Top blokes they are.

As a Parker fan I don't like that fight though. Agit is a bad man. Not saying he beats Parker ten times out of ten or anything, but I wouldn't want any part of that fight unless Agit is bringing a belt to the table, I dont think the risk reward makes sense when you're next in the alphabet rotation without a belt on the line.

As a stay busy I actually quite like the Bakole rematch. A win in a rematch goes a long way to removing what is quite reasonably an asterix next to the KO from their first encounter, and to me at least Bakole doesn't pose quite the risk he used to as he looks to be enjoying the life after his first big payday ala Andy Ruiz post the first AJ fight, if not quite to the same degree.
It's marketable (unfinished business, revenge, good guy Joe giving Bakole a fair shot etc. etc.) lowish risk, probably ends up being a good scrap. Just kind of ticks all the boxes.

I don't think a Bakole fight is marketable at all.

Bakole got wiped out. And he didn't even win his comeback fight after that.

If Parker's going to fight a rematch, avenge a loss.

Joshua would be the first choice. If Whyte wins his upcoming fight, then Whyte would be second choice. Joyce would also be okay.

Don't leave those losses sitting out there if you can beat those guys now

Joshua has no reason to fight Parker whatsoever. He beat Parker clearly at a more favorable time. Thats Joshuas only win thats aged well.
