WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury was smiling ear to ear on Wednesday, as he watched close friend and former WBO heavyweight champion, Joseph Parker, score a first round stopped over Faiga Opelu.

Fury flew to Melbourne, Australia to sit ringside for Parker's main event return.

The two heavyweights have trained together for several years.

Fury would like to see Parker run it back with some of the boxers who beat him or gave him tough fights in the past.

“I’d like to see the rematch with Andy Ruiz, Joe Joyce, Dillian Whyte or even AJ. F--- ‘em all, Joseph Parker is back," Fury said.

Fury one again stood firm on his position that he'd never fight Parker in the ring. Both men also work with trainer Andy Lee.

“Definitely not. No," Fury said. "I’d rather give him the belt than fight him for it. We’re too close for that fight, and there’s plenty of heavyweights out there.”

A few months ago, Parker made it known that he's like to secure rematches with Joshua and Whyte.

When Joshua was hunting for an opponent for April, Parker reached out to his team, but ultimately Jermaine Franklin was selected.

"It would be nice to get a rematch with Joshua, a rematch with Dillian Whyte and probably in the future, a rematch with Joe Joyce," Parker said to Seconds Out.

"I like to fight those guys that I lost to. Before I flew here and before I locked in this fight, my manager put in a message to Joshua's team and asked if they wanted to have a rematch. We had no reply but we're still trying to chase those fights, those rematches and it would be awesome if we can. It's just up to each fighter and their team."
