Joseph Parker

[Beefstew]

Rumours are hes signed a 3 fight deal with Matchroom. Eddie to promote and Higgins to manage. First opponent Eric Molina. To be announced Friday.

Sounds good actually Molina will be a good 1st opponent

If so - that is great news.

Perfect opponent. Has fought the elite, but loses when he steps up. Good tough fighter that can be KO'd:

One correction:  Article said that Fury sought out Parker as a sparring partner as he prepared to fight Klitscko.  Fury never signed, or fought Klit.

This would be great if both JP and KB learn something from Tyson and Davidson who seems a pretty shrewd coach. Hopefully they can link more often

That was my thinking when I saw them training together. Parker needs more eyes on him than just KB's. And if they sparred, Fury could really help his game.

Happy for JP. Another 6m to set him up and 3 fights to get ready for another potentially huge fight. Molina should be a good opportunity for parker to look good

Higgins should probably start thinking about signing some other fighters

Excellent result for Joe. I wonder if it's contingent on his winning his first two fights? Hearn is the best person to get him good fights in the UK after the Molina fight.

All the best to JP and the crew for a new push to the titles..
