Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker To Stay With Higgins, Eyes Fury For September

Who knows with all of the f ukkery going on behind the scenes.

IMO, UKAD have no case against the Fury's and were acting on orders from somebody higher up the food chain when they brought that bull**** charge against them. Tyson Fury was the real target, Hughie is just caught in the cross fire.

Do you wanna see wilder fight one of these guys, or do you just look for any negative reason to take a swipe at him true or not??? He's never refused to fight anybody, is on record being ducked by all of these fighters people claim can beat him. Not to mention all the fighters testing positive for drugs before trying to face him. But that's another topic. Here we have wilder calling out parker and aj for unification fights. Aj situation is understandable, and can't happen this year. Parker has no reason to be talking about fighting bellew or wasting more time playing with the fury family. Yet instead of asking yourself why isn't any of these fighters accepting the challenge from this hype job and taking his belt.......he gets the criticism while the guys that duck him get praised. I just don't get the hypocrisy in here.

The only fight that should be on the cards is Wilder vs Parker. With the year we're having how can it not be, mostly everyone has fought or is fighting everyone. It's a unification what's hard for people to understand about that?.

It should yeh, for boxing it makes the sense. The problem is for Parker's team for business it really doesn't make sense.

Joshua is the golden goose so if Parker's team can just sit around a while longer with the belt until Joshua comes calling (providing he doesn't lose of course!) then they'll be collecting a mega payday. That said, the winner of a Wilder v Parker fight would undoubtedly be in line to make more against Joshua holding both belts rather than just one. It's just I doubt either team would take the risk to walk away with nothing unless they were really confident in winning...

On that note, Wilder has long been talking as if it's his destiny to be unified champion so he must believe it, so he needs to convince his team of it too as the only way that fight happens is if Haymon sweetens the pot for Parker's team to the extent that it's far less of a risk for them.

Reality is Haymon would get that money back and more if a Joshua v Wilder fight came together, so I guess it's more just a matter of faith in Wilder's management that it'd be a worthy investment to throw a lot of cash at Parker?

Sincerely hope that happens.
