    Man, the guy that doesn`t even want to fight if the money is not good enough, is hardly a gatekeeper.

      Money not good enough is the best and most honest reason to not want to fight.

        Lucas browne is not a shell. He's been absolute garbage his whole career even when in his prime hopped up on steroids.

        He recently got beaten in first round by a retired rugby player.

        Dave Allen beat him... ffs.

        He's the guy eddie turns to when one of his struggling fighters needs to a highlight reel guaranteed ko.

            No one is lining up at Parker's gate with a decent enough offer for higgy to open up, lay out the red carpet and invite them in for a smackdown.

            Kronk Parker is a legit top 5 contender who is still under 30 and coming into his prime under Lee's trainage.

            In 4yrs time Fury, AJ, Wilder, Whyte and Usyk wont be around, and if they are, shame on them harming their future selves for ego and money.

            Parker can be world champ again if he wants to be bad enough. Just no more Mr Nice Guy in the ring though...please!

              5 solid heavyweights? Are you sure you're not thinking about MMA or Kickboxing? Tyson Fury presides over one of the strongest Heavyweight divisions in 40 years! Building interest and connecting resources is the promoter's job. His only job. Jesus. People are interested in what they're told told to be interested in... Parker can dance with Wilder, Usyk, Joshua, Ruiz Jr., Ortiz, Whyte, Yoka, Joyce, Hrgovic, Miller, Wallin, Sanchez, Dubois, Martin, Hunter, Helenius, Hughie, Kean, Bakole, Franklin, Kabayel, Chisora, Ajagba, Gassiev, Zhang, Bryan, McKean, Balogun, Arias, Anderson, Shaw, Forrest, Duhaupas, Takam, Dychko, Kownacki, Kossobutskiy, Arreola, Demirezen, Breazeale, Sirenko, Camkiran, Makhmudov, Lallyev, Huni, Pero, Wardley, Gorman, Larduet, Pervizaj, Zakhozhyi, Muhamed, Jalolov, Ahio; even a nice NZ vs. Australia clash with Lucas Browne, long overdue, would still draw big.
