I bloody hope it isn't to be fair, worse than Meehan or Tupou imo

Can you imagine if  this fight was anounced after AJ's anouncement? Wow.


RE: Joseph Parker - james5000 - 02-16-2016

I suppose I should stop being so pessimistic


RE: Joseph Parker - Rusty01 - 02-16-2016

Hughie Fury as an outside chance?


RE: Joseph Parker - tm7 - 02-16-2016

Hughie has got a fight announcement soon but he's locked into Wembley in March and Duco don't like to stray from their plans. Rossy's record doesn't look great on paper but he's made some decent fighters work hard for the win and is very durable. I wouldn't hate him as an opponent. Could Solis be an option?

(02-15-2016, 05:04 PM)diehard Wrote: The promoters of New Zealand heavyweight Joseph Parker turned down an offer to host a title fight against American IBF champion Charles Martin due to the expense involved, but say the door has been left open for a mandatory challenge in the near future.

Southpaw Martin will make the first defence of his title against Englishman Anthony Joshua in London on April 9 - a fight likely to be very lucrative for both men, but also very difficult for the incumbent - after Duco Events turned Martin down.

"They actually contacted us to see if we would front with millions of dollars for a fight down here and I just suggested it was ludicrous to even think about the sort of money they were asking for," Duco's Dean Lonergan said. "They were looking for something and they got it in Joshua.

"The money they were asking for was huge. It's available in England but it's not available here."

Duco have fast-tracked 24-year-old Parker during his unbeaten 18-fight professional career, but in this case they are playing a slightly longer game.

A victory for either Martin or Joshua will ease the door open wider for a mandatory shot by Parker, who is ranked No6 by the IBF, an organisation which has no official No1 or No2-rated fighters.

After champion Martin, the next on the list is No3 Erkan Teper, a Turk who failed a drugs test in December and, should his B sample also test positive, is facing a lengthy ban. Fourth is Joshua, with 35-year-old Cameroonian-Frenchman Carlos Takam fifth, one ahead of Parker.

Should Teper drop out due to a drugs ban, Parker could be fighting Takam in an elimination bout for a mandatory shot at the title.

Parker's next fight is in Christchurch on April 16 against an opponent Lonergan hoped he would be able to confirm in the next few days.

Parker is also slated to fight in July, a bout which his promoters hope will be a warm-up for much bigger things to come.

"Right now, what's happening in England is incredibly significant for us," Lonergan said. "With Martin signing to fight Anthony Joshua all sorts of interesting things open up. That's a brilliant fight to be made for British boxing. Britain is a hotbed of heavyweight boxing and it just got a lot hotter."

Joshua, a 25-year-old Olympic gold medallist is an extremely powerful puncher and will present the relatively inexperienced Martin with easily the toughest challenge of his career. Joshua, unbeaten in 16 professional fights, will also be on home turf at the O2 Arena, a fight almost guaranteed to be a sellout.

The Englishman recently said he had been following Parker's career with interest and believed the two would meet in the ring eventually.

if you were Parker, would you feel slightly pissed off? the goal has been to become a world champion, yet when an opportunity is offered, its turned down due to money. Duco have fleeced the nz and samoa public for 18 or so fights so surely they could have made this happen, just would have meant they would not have made the money they wanted. but their boy would have achieved "his" dream of becoming a world champ.

or are they saying hes not ready for martin? strange as a little while ago, he was ready for a klit..... unless they meant lol


RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 02-16-2016

Nigs, Mr Higgins and Parker are tight. Probably goes for Lonergan too. I'm sure Joe understands that Martin, an average champ at best, was asking for the moon. I'm also sure Parker appreciates how Duco has taken care of him financially and hooking him up with KB. Tua never had that kind of support from Duva early in his career.

I've often said that there's no way a top ten fighter will come to NZ. Never happened with Tua, won't happen with Joe. Too small a market to pay the going rate, and in Parker's backyard.

What I would worry about if I were Parker is that AJ beats Martin, and faces the Fury/Klit winner. The WBA has an extended tournament, which leaves Wilder and the WBC. In other words, lots of hoops to jump through. That said, he needs to be Fedosov or Takam in July, and put himself in a position to contend when his chance comes.


RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 02-16-2016

April? Will he come to NZ?

You must be kidding diehard.....Price wouldn't risk Parker.


RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 02-16-2016

Well then, who, who, who??? I was kidding a little. But who? Come on kiwi (er Duco) out with it.


RE: Joseph Parker - NakiFan - 02-16-2016

My prediction: Mike Perez

Backup prediction: Matteo Modugno
