    It was around the time that he started taking about coming out of retirement and was very concerning.

    Looks like he's pretty much been fighting low level opponents in 4 rounders of late.

    I have a horrible feeling this guy just doesn't know when to stop. Or he's back on the punt and can't stop.

    Good on him for earning but he's got tragedy written all over him.

      initially he said he be fighting in sep or oct card,hen hoped to ge on fury usyk card, he shoulda fought moses,he and his team called him out,he could of been fighting moses instead of moses fighing mckean, i know there is nothing in it really for parker, but at least it keeps him active, cause parker isnt exactly riveting to watch,looks like turki has abandoned him...

        Seems terrible. The opening fight should be the co main easily

          Was feeling underwhelmed until I saw the Madrimov/Bohachuk fight.

          Fisher/Allen is mildly amusing too I guess. Dave getting one last payday and one final time in the spotlight.

            He's got 2 young kids, the oldest must only be 2

            Thats why he's fighting again I guess

              6 fights including main event seems a bit low given the other Saudi cards, something gives me a hunch that Bakole will get a fight as well at the least.

                And he gambled away most of his previous earnings.

                  Either that or Saudi is going to pull back a bit on stacked undercards in favour of putting on more regular events, more like regular promoters

                  At the end of the day, Fury v Usyk crosses over to the mainstream, they dont need a stacked undercard, its just nice to have

                  I guess at some point the Saudis will probably have more modest undercards for certain mega fights because it's not necessary when most viewers for them kind of fights are casuals.

                  Maybe the stacked undercards will be kept for the kind of events headlined by the likes of Crawford, a big enough name to headline but not quite as mainstream as a few others.

                    Thanks for the information. I always liked Dave, he went up against some big monsters and always gave it a go. Unfortunately it's a story we've seen time and again in boxing.

                    Hopefully he can make some money without too much long term damage and then call it a day.
