Boxing commentator Mike Angove says Romanian Razvan Cojanu would be a good match to take on Joesph Parker in his World Heavyweight title defence.

Parker was set to fight Hughie Fury on May 6th in his first defence of the title- but Fury pulled out at the weekend with a back injury.

Speculation has been flowing over a substitute fighter with an announcement expected from Duco Events tomorrow.

"It would make sense he is number 14 in the WBO he's 6ft 7 so he's a similar height to Fury, I understand he has been in camp with Parker, which is an interesting situation but what it does mean is that he will be fit and ready to fight. He will probably create difficulties knowing Parker, so some of Parker's trademark moves he may not pull off as easily," Angove said.

He said if media speculation about Razvan (16-2, 9 KOs) is correct then it will make for a good fight.

"Looking at who Cojanu has fought compared to who Parker has fought i'd suggest Parker will be pretty well equipped to tackle him.

"Cojanu hits harder than Fury he has had 300 amateur fights and he has a nasty left hook to the head and body and coming from the height at which he throws it will create some difficulties for Parker."

Angove said Parker would have to go a few rounds against a taller fighter.

"Joe just wants to fight - the original fight was scheduled in April so he's been through two camps - he will have an itchy trigger finger, he just wants to fight.
