They're all queuing up to fight Oleksandr Usyk, with Tyson Fury even out running.

Parker will get it.

I wanna see Parker next.

Parker SHOULD get it.

Fixed.

Fury had his chance (twice). Paul is flexing his mouth: I'll be shocked if he fights Joshua (which he would lose, guaranteed), let alone Usyk.

Parker deserves it more than any other.

Usyks next 2 fights should be Parker and then Kabayel but neither are high profile. Without a Brit or a Yank involved any fight just won't have the same interest. Usyk won't care but Turki probably will. Next fight probably won't be until spring next year. Maybe perfect for Riyadh, dunno how safe Kiev is. Maybe load up the card with Brits and Yanks and have it at the O2.

Joshua v Wilder
Fury v Miller
Itama v Hrgovic
Wardley v Hunter
Kabayel v Okolie

Parker is chomping at the bit to fight Uysk and secure himself a huge payday before the Champ retires, all the fighters are, its equivalent to hitting the lottery. The kind of money now any fighter taking on Usyk will make is life changing, they can retire right after win or lose. Dubois made $70 million fighting Usyk... to put that in perspective the money he made fighting Joshua was $5 million. Even if Parker makes 30 million that will be the biggest payday of his life.

Wouldn’t expect Usyk back till early next year. Parker may want to take an interim fight to stay sharp. Curious who Kabayel picks. Probably one of those middling Gassiev types

I want Paul to fight opetai

opetai will hurt that man and give him the suffering everyone wants him to have

Usyk could fight Jake on the same night as either of the others. Barely a warmup really..

By all rights, Parker should be next. Parker should have been before Dubois. Dubois somehow got ahead of Parker in the queue by ducking him.

[steeve steel]

Parker deserves a shot but... as for Dubois, it's easy to improve if you're not fighting Usyk.
