I'm not so sure. Haye isn't back for getting belts, or to unify, he's back for the money. Fighting Parker for a title is pretty risky. It will probably be in NZ or the US, and will generate much less money than what he could fight Bellew or Joshua for. Haye is highly rated in the WBA, which is the route he is apparently wanting to go down. He is also highly rated in the IBF, which Parker will be out of when he fights Ruiz. That leaves Pulev as the mandatory for Joshua, and Pulev doesn't seem keen to fight Joshua as we know, so he could be out. Guess who's next? You bet your arse - Mr Haye.

If Haye doesn't opt to fight Parker, Hughie Fury would be next. I'm not so sure Hughie would fight Parker right now - he didn't jump into the Joshua fight when he had the opportunity, so I wouldn't be surprised if he declines as well. So we may end up with Parker fighting (next in line) Michael Wallisch for his first defence.

Of course it's all assumptions, but it's fun to speculate.
