Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker's Opponent Erupts Over Late Hour Contract Changes

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The next opponent of WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker has launched an angry diatribe at the Kiwi's promotion team and local boxing journalists for "playing with him" ahead of Saturday's title fight. Romanian brawler Razvan Cojanu, who has sparred with Parker in two separate training camps, will take on the 25-year-old in Manukau this weekend after being drafted in at late notice to replace the injured Hughie Fury.

Parker should stop BLATANTLY DUCKING Wilder. If he doesn't say he wants to unify next **** him.

Damn, first Eddie Hearn protecting AJ from Wilder, now Parker's team worrying about rematches against a soft touch, just imagine their tepidness in fighting Wilder. Not a good luck, I smell a blatant duck coming from Parker.

Trying to justify the legitimacy of an opponent that theyve used as sparring fodder on two seperate occasions.

Hughie Fury is barely ranked top 20 despite what WBOgus want to say, to then not be able to seek out an opponent in the top 70 even on two weeks notice is quite frankly a joke.

Honestly Parker's team would be dumb to take a unification fight w/ Wilder next. The obvious move would be to fight Joshua in either New Zealand (since he said he wants to go global) or the UK. Sell out some 50k plus arena and make about $10-15 million.

He'd only make about $2 million fighting Wilder next in the US. That's just bad business.

I get the competitive piece but Wilder is bringing very little to the table in comparison to other options.

He should even consider a UK scrap with Bellew over Wilder. Money talks.

Well the opponent must be in the WBO top 15 rankings. Cojanu was #14. He won a WBO regional belt over some Chinese guy with a 6-1 record. It's ****** but he is in the WBO top 15. This is why I have always said regional belts hurt boxing. It allows a guy to make a soft touch voluntary.
