Parker vs. Fury Undercard: Umar Salamov To Face Emil Markic
By Ryan Burton
BoxingScene.com has been advised by world class trainer Kevin Barry that his fighter Umar Salamov (22-0) will make his first ring appearance of 2017 on the Joseph Parker-Hughie Fury WBO heavyweight title tilt undercard. The action will take place at the Vector Arena in Auckland, New Zealand. Barry's stable of fighters also includes Parker.
The 22-year-old Salamov will face Emil Markic (24-1) for the vacant WBO international light heavyweight title that Andre Ward vacated when he defeated Sergey Kovalev to capture the WBO/WBA/IBF titles last November.
If everything goes well, Dean Lonergan of Duco Events is looking to put Salamov on the July 2nd Manny Pacquiao-Jeff Horn undercard at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia. More than 50,000 fans are expected to be in attendance for the WBO welterweight title fight.
Salamov previously held the WBO and IBO youth light heavyweight titles.

Yea as Hearns said IF he comes thru the Fury fight. The talk of the Parker Aj fight has been in circulation for months so it's become an expectation actually. If Jo handles Fury and Fury puts up a good fight and loses legit, then everyone will want Jo and AJ..
If Joshua and Hughie Fury both win, Hughie vs Joshua is more lucrative than would be Parker v Joshua.
Hughie isn't well known in the uk, (neither is parker tbh) but a unification between two brits... add in tyson fury stirring the pot, that'd be a big fight.
If Joshua beats klitschko, it's pretty much only another Brit or Wilder that has the potential to be bigger than the klitschko fight, Parker would be a big ish fight but not huge and i think most brits would see him as a lesser opponent than klitschko.
The main problem for Parker getting a rep in the uk is that this fight with hughie is not a big name brit (he's probably the 5th or 6th most well known active heavyweight there) and it's on BT Sport not sky sport and it'll be on sunday mornign when most people are in bed nursing their hangovers. It's not going to be this massive primetime event over there that parker fans seem to think
All of this speculation, wouldn't be surprised if in a month we're discussing a unification between Wlad and Hughie lol.

Hahaha. Would be a good matchup stylistically too if it was to happen.
