Oh thank God, I was so worried we would never get to see this fight.

Why would it be hard to finalize a fight with Fa? Wtf, makes no sense...

You would think that right? I have a feeling neither fighters' teams are the good guys in this one. Sounds like Matchroom is fronting alot of the money and the two sides are haggling over how the pie will be split up. I do look forward to the fight if it's made but I really don't know what to make of Fa since his resume is pretty weak this far into his career.

This fight makes a lot of sense as a final eliminator for the Commonwealth title (currently held by Daniel Dubois) & fight time is 10.00PM NZ then it means a 9.O'clock UK breakfast show. "Bring it on"!!

Hopefully Team Fa doesn't mess up this negotiations, 500K is a lot of money for someone like him. Who hasn't fought anyone. This whole fight is based on their amateur fights/rivalry.

Fa is a prospect who has not fought a top 50 guy yet and Parker is former champ who has fought Joshua/Ruiz/Whyte/Takam/Fury. Fa has zero leverage. Parker should not let this waste his time he has lots of options for more big fights. Let Fa fight Takam see if he can get by that test.

Fa's camp has been asking for the moon and the stars in negotiations. This fight SHOULDN'T be difficult to make, but it's becoming pretty clear Fa's own camp doesn't back him to take the W and go onto bigger things.
