Comments Thread For: WBO to order Oleksandr Usyk-Joseph Parker

Turki saying he has no interest in this. Hopefully they don't ignore Parker and vacate the WBO.

If Usyk doesn't fight Parker, Parker should try to get that WBA trinket so that Pulev doesn't inherit the full title (because we all know Usyk ain't fighting Pulev/Hunter/Wardley).

Sounds like Turki is going to try and block this fight - probably to try and get Usyk to fight Fury a third time.

Queensberry can put it on in Ukraine and Turki can pay hundreds of millions to lure Fury into the desert for an exhibition vs Joshua instead.

Either Usyk fights Parker or emails him the belt but no way is Fury fighting for all of them.

Wouldn't be surprised if Usyk gets stripped to email straps to Kabayel and Chisora as well if he picks Fury.

Another decisive win for the GOAT. Fury has no other option but to stop ducking and FINALLY face AJ.

I am probably in the minority here, but I can't get excited about the Parker fight - mainly because the outcome is fairly predictable. Maybe that is why Turki is not interested either. I have seen Parker loose a few fights so I cannot see him presenting a huge challenge to the best heavyweight of this generation. I still remember Parker getting destroyed by Joyce with relative ease so if I was Usyk I would rather retire because Parker does not add any value to his resume. I know Parker has changed his style since then, but I still can't get excited about this fight.

The only two fights for Usyk that offer some level of intrigue are Kabayel and Itauma. Kabayel has that relentless, vicious body attack so it would be interesting to see how Usyk deals with that and Itauma has youth, speed and power that could be sold as something interesting and exciting and somewhat unpredictable.

Yeah i dont understand why everyone is so behind a Parker fight.He would be completely dominated by Fury let alome Usyk.

I'd personally welcome a third Fury fight as they were competitive and many great fighters from the past had trilogies

Parker poses much less of a threat than Fury and i like competitive fights.

A Ko win against Fury which is possible does more for Usyks legacy than beating Parker who has just had a lucky win streak for me

Parker and Kaybayel should fight and then Usyk could beat the winner of them for his final fight after he fights Fury again because its an assured win against either of them

I like this fight , Parker has been on heater I think he will make Usyk work for it which would make for a fun fight ......

Parker will get walked down and dominated by Usyk,he will be blowing out his hole in 5 rounds

Perhaps , Usyk is an ATG ......

I'll watch Parker as he has "earned it" and looks to have a renewed energy around him. But every time he gets into this situation, he comes up short and never really takes command and secures things the way you'd want. I think he still has the talent to get there though and I do put something in how he has been looking just as a guy; really liked his energy against Bakole.

[PBR Streetgang]

I wouldn't mind seeing Parker. I think he loses but he still presents different problems than some of the previous opponents of Usyk.

Kabayel is also interesting on account of his educated aggression and body punching. I wish he would have been able to fight a better version of Frank Sanchez so I could see how he would fare against a smooth boxer.

Itauma certainly has the upside and tools but has he earned it? Is he too green? Sparking out a shopworn Whyte doesn't really prove that much to me.
