Joseph Parker

Parker needs to be doing something now to get ready for the top guys and remain fit to fight at short notice lmo

Hughie was his first UK fight and was with Hennessy Promotions... he has alot more exposure after fighting AJ and Whyte. With the 3 top guys not wanting to fight each other he will get another shot at the title soon enough as there is only so many fringe contenders available.

All true, but I still don't think he can draw on his own unless he faces a top fighter, not even Chisora.

He will need a tune up soon!
Taking too long to sort fights

What he really needs is a break to go his way

JP is coming into his prime HW years - from age 28 to 33

He can still do this - but he needs something to break his way....

Watched an IFL video where Hearn said he signed another heavyweight and he'd fight on June 29 in the US. https://www.matchroomboxing.com/fight-nights/demetrius-andrade-vs-maciej-sulecki/
Asked if he was black or white? Hearn stalls like he doesn't know what answer to give... like's he's Samoan maybe????
Hearn then says he's not saying but it's a bit awkward.
In an earlier vid. Kugan Cassius aks if Parker is fighting on July 20 because he's heard a rumour. Kugan is hard up Hearn's asse and usually knows what's happening behind the secenes so my guess is that was thrown out there to put us off the scent of the June 29 card.
It's around 11.30 in the below vid.

I'm putting 2 and 2 together to come up with 97 I know but that's my guess. If I'm right it's a short camp but if the fight is in the US Parker doesn't need to lose two weeks at the end to the travel factor and will likely be a very winnable fight anyway.

Certainly looks that way as I don't know who else he could be after. If it is him then I'd expect a Duhaupas type opponent.

Haha Is that because you know? You've heard strong rumours? or you are just trying to get a sweepstake going like the rest of us?
Wrong thread I know but any word on Junior's next dance?
