Heavyweight Division
It's just that Parker finally has some bargaining power with his mandatory. Might as well trade on it. And if AJ and Parker are on a collision course, might as well fight similar guys, undefeated young guns.

If he's fighting out of UK then it might as well be Whyte. That's the fight we should see, and maybe a fight AJ needs to see.

Have to be careful with Parkers opponent on this supposed under card in the UK. Eddie hearn won't be trying to protect Parker for a parker/Joshua fight as there are a dozen more fights that make the same money. Even a whyte/ Joshua 2 would make the same money and he wouldn't be splitting the promotion with Duco, if I'm correct. Hearn would happily see a few of the UK guys beat Parker on this undercard - Whyte, Price. Can't see it being a euro level fall guy as Eddie would want something to show for it if Parker loses. Parker whyte making more and more sense for Hearn. Haye Parker might not happen as I think Haye wants an easier rd to Joshua and doesn't need to be a mando for it to sell. Could make that fight in a yr or 2, even if both aren't a champ of something. Makes me wonder whether hearn wants the big unification with wilder or fury/klit or whether he sees Parker as an easier fight for less money. If he is definitely keen on thr parker fight as a big promotion for early next year then I guess it could be possible for a euro level guy on this under card but can't help thinking it will be a brit so sell the card further. I think Parker gets whyte out of there, who is a level below takam and has been inactive

As we all know Whyte has a Granite Chin but I can see Parker stopping him with Body Shots.

Do we? If you watch the Whyte fight you see Whyte rolling and already leaning backwards with the shots that AJ hit him with. Does AJ lack power? Or is he a power level down than most think?

I think AJ is a 'power level' above Parker.

I agree mate, whyte-joshua 2 makes the same, if not more money than parker-joshua so hearn doesn't care. With the mandatory fight it's a guaranteed 75-25 split to the champion so Duco won't get half but they'll still get plenty
