Oilskin Parker is good to go !

Line em up and he'll try to knock em down! "I will fight anyone, and I'll call out anyone." He has packed on eight kilograms of muscle – and could add more – as he attempts to minimise the size disparity for a likely dangerous rematch with Zhilei Zhang in Saudi Arabia. "At the moment I’m preparing for Zhang because that’s what I’m contracted for but it depends on what Saudi Arabia and Turki Alalshikh wants,” “I was told September, now, hopefully, October and hopefully we can lock in an opponent so we can start taking it down to what we need to do for a certain fighter and style.” https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/sport/520098/joseph-parker-eyes-next-bout-i-will-fight-anyone By my reckoning The Desert Turki will only call for the Zhang rematch if Joshua fights Dubois. I doubt AJ goes near Doobie unless they strip Usyk of the IBF strap and doesn't fancy his chances against Prime 2024 Parker. More than likely Joshua chooses the old, tired chinaman instead. Doobie and Parker probably won't risk their interim status to fight each other while Usyk/Fury 2 is still in play either. There's still the chance Fury bails on the rematch or retires himself. In which case Parker deserves a shot at Usyk if he still wants to party on. Im stilI leaning toward Usyk retiring if a belt gets stripped. In the meantime a resurgent Parker is the guy whose done the most to earn his title shot and is putting in the work to make sure when it comes he's more than ready!

Zhang is over 40, overweight and over the hill. Parker ain't going to sleepover him.

The first knockdown was a wake up call. Parker was on his feet and signalling to his corner that things were good immediately. The 2nd was a loss of balance from a shot to the back of the head while bent over. Parker took no damage and im expecting him to handle Zhang with even greater ease if the rematch is made. Joyce aint the juggernaut no more and gets splattered, so does Whyte in other rematches. Joshua keeps peeking out from behind Hearns skirt, sees Parker and quickly ducks in behind again. 2024 Parker is Prime Oilskin time. 32 yrs old with a settled family life, masterful trainer and world class nutrition/conditioning guy in tow. I'd even go on to say Parker could end Zhangs career with a clean knockout if he smells blood and activates windmill mode. parker is 32 and his samoan genes are kicking in. that's 20 lbs of pure fat and water added to his body every year. LMFAO meanwhile Big Bang Zhang just got a nutritionist for the first time in his life. Parker's going to sleep

Uh oh. Will he be as mobile with the added weight? That could possibly benefit Zhang here. “The biggest difference between us in the first fight was weight. I was 113kg, he was 133kg. Now I’m here in New Zealand with Nutrurionist/Conditioner George Lockhart we’re building to be bigger, faster, stronger and still having the best conditioning. We’re going to minimise that gap if it is Zhang again.” https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/boxing/joseph-parker-packs-on-the-pounds-as-dangerous-zhilei-zhang-rematch-looms/XUODXQK2CZFRDIONSG2GJZEQXI/
