PEDdie spread too thin.

Rungvisai needs a return. Where's Johnson vs Smith Jr.?

Chisora L’s to serial juicer Whyte should be no contests.

"sort out details of main event" - Getting agreement from the unified world champion to attend the fight seems like a pretty important details to sort out.

So both Parker and Usyk are signed to matchroom and looking for dance partners...hmmm

I thought Chisora said he retired after BeetleJuice-r blasted him out in a fit of roid rage?

Parker is setting the bar a bit too low for his return IMO. That's never really been his style. His ethos has always been stay busy, take on challenging opponents and train hard.

I understand he's trying to get back to basics and rebuild, but I think Parker is just unfortunate to be around a division with the guys holding the belts ( I won't take Ruiz seriously until he beats Joshua in a rematch ) all over 6' 6" and huge.

Parker is a capable fighter, but I've suspected he has never really settled into a style. Most observers would probably characterise him as a boxer-puncher, but he failed to carry enough power into the fights that mattered.
I wish he would commit more to his offense, take more risks, but then I'm not in the ring against guys who are over 200 pounds.
