Getting this fight to Auckland, NZ is a huge win for the Parker camp. Hometown + huge amount of expat and bloodline Samoan's in the city, they'll be out in force and vocal in support.

Should be a cracking fight, bring it on!

The heavyweight division needs to be put on notice, Parker is here! If Fury does beat Wlad in the rematch the division has some cool fighters bring it back to life!

Takam is gonna get the D

Then Joshua better be ready to throw hands

[Earl-Hickey]

Damn

Even if Joshua robs Martin he gets KO'd by parker next

This is bull****! Andy Ruiz Jr should be fighting in an eliminator.

Very tough fight for Parker, and one I feel his promoters havent prepared him for at all

Going from fighting the jason Bergman's of this world to Carlos Takam is a huge leap in class. I just hope Parker is ready to be hit back for a change

Come on man

Takam is a short, plodding pressure fighter with average power

He's going to walk straight onto flush combinations and get ko'd

You obviously have never seen him. He has very good defence actually and solid movement. And he's barely shorter than Parker

Parker fights like a guy that has never been hit. Takam is crafty and can take advantage

How the hell is a Gatekeeper involved in an eliminator since they are saying Takam is a Gatekeeper????
