AJ/Usyk--the bull and the matador. AJ getting a new trainer sounds good, but it also shows he's all over the show in what he wants to do. Yeah, be super aggressive and KO him early, but if that doesn't work and he gets countered, what's plan B?
JP needs to use his new found power to KO Usyk, if he really has that power. He loses by UD otherwise. Like you say, Usyk moves too well and is too tactical. Meaning, he's the better boxer.

If I was Higgins I would be straight on the phone setting up a big fight in OZ against Lucas Browne.
Big PPV "revenge for Fa" fight in Oz and NZ. Very sellable. And keeps JP busy.

Good idea, but I think Fa needs to sort this out first. JP needs to be concerned about JJ.

Guess that means Frank Warren didn't get his claws into him. Which means he's not fighting JJ.

I’ve had a great relationship with Sky Sports in the past, with many great fight nights against the leading British heavyweights – I’ll fight absolutely anyone put in front of me,” said Parker.

Interesting
I guess Eddie left Sky as an option when he went with DAZN
He may come to regret that
