RE: Joseph Parker - cranky - 11-03-2015
I guess that must've changed...
RE: Joseph Parker - cranky - 11-03-2015
the very last sentence of this Haumono article quotes him targeting parker:
http://www.news.com.au/sport/boxing/boxer-solomon-haumono-sends-warning-to-rival-lucas-browne/story-fndkzthy-1227589566902
“A couple of times when he knew he couldn’t get me with his swinging hook, he changed the projection and flight of his punch and it was getting there, but I did adjust. It’s good we got to exercise that, now I’m looking forward to fighting the likes of Joseph Parker and Browne.”
RE: Joseph Parker - Boxingfan25 - 11-03-2015
Id like Haumono to fight Browne first and then the winner to fight JP. But if they both want to get knocked out by Parker that can be arranged too.
RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 11-03-2015
Nah, I think it'll be Haumono vs Parker, as Duco and Stu Duncan (matchmaker) struggle to find an opponent for the Fight for Life. Browne will fight Parker only if he loses to Chagaev, and then it'll be too late. Parker won't want to fight a loser, who's declining.
RE: Joseph Parker - Boxingfan25 - 11-03-2015
It would still be a good marketable fight though Browne V Parker- NZ V AUS.
And as ive already stated i think Chagaev beats Browne but i am hopefull that Browne wins so that can set up a big trans tasman fight with Parker.
RE: Joseph Parker - tm7 - 11-04-2015
It's not Daniel Martz, he's fighting in the US on Nov 25th. Got to be Sol?

The PABA awarded Sol the "interim" PABA in his last fight (where he smashed Hunter Sam's jaw), so maybe Team Parker had to fight Sol to keep the belt for rankings in the WBA?
I know the regional belts are important for alphabet rankings - must be tricky to keep them all happy
I can't see Sol being quick enough for Parker, but at least the Fight for Life crowd know who he is.
RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 11-06-2015
As we've seen, belts and wins move Parker up the rankings, regardless of opponent. Guess Sol is as good as anyone, including Meehan. I just see these fighters as B and C level fighters. Only difference is the names. It'll be the same with whoever he fights in Samoa. Then Team Parker will make their charge for a possible title fight for later in the year. Not a bad strategy, as Parker just keeps getting better with his skills, type of opponent (we're going tall now, I hear), and getting some muscles. His opponents are hyped enough that the upcoming fights seem exciting.

Joseph Parker's stable cleans up at WBO annual awards in US
Joseph Parker's stocks continue to rise with the heavyweight and his stable cleaning up major awards at the WBO conference in Florida.
Parker was named the WBO's heavyweight fighter of the year for their Oriental region.
His stablemate, Australian Jeff Horn, was named the organisation's welterweight of the year for the same region.

* Boxer Joseph Parker's rankings rise puts world title within sights
* Joseph Parker's 'enormous potential' praised after TKO win over Kali Meehan
* Tyson Fury wants Joseph Parker to help prepare for world title fight with Wladimir Klitschko
Parker's managers Duco were named promoters of the year for the region and their matchmaker Stu Duncan collected that category as well.
Parker is ranked No 6 on the WBO rankings that are headed by champion Wladimir Klitschko.
Parker is likely to lift higher when the WBO revise those rankings shortly and his most recent victory, a second-round TKO of Kali Meehan, is factored in.
Horn is ranked No 7 by the WBO.
Duco Events boss Dean Lonergan attended the conference in Orlando and proudly accepted the awards.
"They were presented to us in front of the entire conference which was great. It's another sign that we are doing things properly," Lonergan said.
"Awards are nice but the most important thing to us is what our guys are doing in the rankings."
Lonergan said the real value in attending the conference was the ability to network around the organisation's powerbrokers and the 30 promoters who attended.
"It was fascinating. These were the 30 people running boxing worldwide and dealing with the sanctioning bodies. It was the fist real look we've had at it. It was incredibly valuable."
Parker's next fight is on December 5 in Hamilton where he headlines the Fight For Life promotion. His opponent for that fight will be announced next Tuesday.
Duco will also announce the name of Parker's opponent for his following fight in Samoa in January.

New Zealand boxer Joseph Parker has to say no to dream fight night in Las Vegas
Not even an unexpected Las Vegas opportunity will see Joseph Parker deviate from the pathway designed to get him to the top of the heavyweight boxing ranks.
Joseph Parker has had to turn down a fight on one of boxing's biggest nights of the year in Las Vegas because of a scheduling clash.
Parker's camp were sounded out on their last-minute availability for an undercard appearance on the November 21 world middleweight clash between Miguel Cotto and Canelo Alvarez.
The fight is seen as second only to June's record-breaking fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao in terms of public interest for the year.
Parker's rising profile and Las Vegas locale where he is training made him an attractive option to the promoters looking to fill an unexpected gap on their card.
American promoter Dino Duva, who is involved with Roc Nation, which backs Cotto, sounded out Duco Events, the management company behind the New Zealand heavyweight.
But with the December 5 Fight For Life promotion in Hamilton already confirmed as Parker's next fight, they weren't prepared to risk their man in Vegas, despite the massive opportunity.
"We'd love to be on that card and the exposure that it would bring," Duco boss Dean Lonergan said. "There are going to be millions watching around the world,
"It was flattering to get the email. But at the end of the day, we book ourselves months and months in advance and we are working to a plan and we won't deviate from it at short notice. We need to be patient and sensible."
Parker, 23, has also had to decline a chance to train and spar with British contender Tyson Fury ahead of his world title clash with Wladimir Klitschko because of travel and time concerns with attending Tyson's Ireland workouts.
His handlers are more concerned with the long-term goal of Parker. And mapping a path to a possible world title shot became clearer after Lonergan attended the WBO conference in Orlando, Florida last week.
Delighted to see Duco pick up Oriental regional awards for Parker (heavyweight), Jeff Horne (welterweight), Stu Duncan (matchmaker) and their own company as promoter of the year, Lonergan said the greater pleasure came in the knowledge he gained in the politics and networking of the sport.
That included a half-hour audience with WBO president Paco Valcárcel, who was fully aware of Parker's talent and had suggested a schedule that would, if he proved successful, get the youngster into being the No 1 mandatory challenger to Klitschko.
"That's our ultimate goal. Getting the mandatory means you are guaranteed to fight the champion and I've come away from that conference very excited because the pathway for us to get Joe right to the top is a lot clearer."
Lonergan said Parker's trainer Kevin Barry was comfortable with that path and "it will work for us promotionally if we can mange to pull of what is being suggested".
Parker's opponent for Fight For Life will be named on Tuesday along with the fighter he will meet in Samoa in January. Duco plan further fights for him in New Zealand in April and June, though there could be a twist to those, as they eye the American market.
Lonergan headed to New York after his Florida mission and met with TV networks there.
"They are very positive on Joe. We're close to getting him on TV in the US on a more regular basis. We're looking at going in there on a primetime schedule which would mean potentially fighting on Sunday afternoons in New Zealand because it would be primetime for American east coast audience."
Lonergan is now in Europe, looking to nail network deals in France and firm up a Polish TV deal that would allow Parker's impressive heavyweight stablemate Izu Ogonoh to headline fights in his native Poland.
