Joseph Parker

[Msreef]

Personally I think this is great news.
I'm sceptical that Duco will be able to get top tier opponents after the Takam fight, so it will be great to have the winner of Chisora v Pulev forced to fight him, if he gets past Takam.
It's also likely that the fight won't be in NZ, which would be great experience for Parker.

Personally I don't think Parker will end up facing Joshua. For that to happen, we have to presume:
1) Parker gets through Takam, Chisora / Pulev and other fights if he has them
2) Joshua gets through all his voluntaries
3) Joshua doesn't opt to go the unification route

Personally I think #3 will be the kicker. I doubt Eddie and Joshua will pick Parker over a unification with Fury. They've already said they see Fury as an easier fight than Haye (who is fairly similar to Parker). They really don't rate the power of Fury, so don't see it as a very risky fight. Also much more money in the Joshua / Fury fight. IMO, if Joshua fights Fury he probably loses, so then Parker would be mandatory to fight Fury. That's all assuming that Fury beats Klitschko, which is no certainty. If Klitschko wins that fight and he doesn't retire afterwards, I could then see Joshua opt to fight Parker.
