Eddie Hearn must've been giddy last night.. Not only did Parker retain but he was also forced to do it in an empty MEN Arena on a shambles of a promotion only Hennessy could muster up..
With Ortiz eliminating himself from the equation fighting Wilder, we are surely only 3 fights away from having a unified HW world champion...
AJ vs Pulev > AJ vs Parker > AJ vs Wilder for all the marbles.
If Joshua beats Pulev and Wilder beats Ortiz they'll be on a collision course but think they will both have 1 or 2 warm up fights before they are set to sqaure off
I think if they both keep winning it'll probably happen late 2018 early/mid 2019
That's the way I see this too. I could see them building up to maximise the financial benefit for early 2019 or late next year depending on the market.
