I'd expect that if Parker holds a belt, the IBF mandatory is no longer enforced.
If Haye is the mandated next fight after Ruiz, I think Parker should go down the IBF route instead. Haye is extremely dangerous, more dangerous than AJ, and the fight will most likely be in the UK. So Parker fights Ruiz in NZ, then Haye in the UK. Not good. I think they should fight on December the 10th against a decent opponent in the UK, then fight AJ after that.
