Faure??? The article mentioned Frank Sanchez. I saw his last fight, and he's good. Really good. But is he ready to step up and fight Parker? Don't know.
There's nothing in it for Parker tbh. Faure's a decent prospect and is doing a good job getting his name out there but Parker would be silly to take a fight like this not that it would be on the cards at this stage of their careers. I guess Parker just needs to keep winning whoever they put infront of him when the word goes back to normal.
I agree. Fighting a guy ranked #11 accomplishes what? He needs to fight either Whyte or Usyk. Maybe Rivas. Or maybe Helenius. Someone who can get him a title fight. But with AJ already committed to Usyk and Pulev, Wilder facing Fury, and then the Fury/AJ megafight, there's no room for Parker for at least a year.
BTW, what did Charles Martin do to be the IBF #2? Beat Gerald Washington???
Yeah Rivas and Helenius are realistic opponents if Eddie wants to spend a bit on Parker.
On Martin, yep pretty much. The rankings can be very silly sometimes.
