Haye has his own plans and doesn't involve being a sparing partner for the likes of Joe, prob more chance if he loses and retires.
In saying that I am hoping for a big Haye victory.

He's probably waiting for that AJ payday should he beat Bellew.

He def is waiting for that payday- I think he needs the $$
If he can turn back the clock he could give AJ issues but clocks don't go backwards and he relied on reflexes (like a young M Tyson) and they don't follow u into to your 30's-40's

Hate might have to bring back the rope o dope lol

Joseph Parker's earnings for Anthony Joshua fight revealed by promoter

New Zealand's Joseph Parker picked up a lot less than Anthony Joshua for their fight in Cardiff.

Joseph Parker earned less than $12.5 million for his fight against Anthony Joshua, boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed.

Parker lost his heavyweight title unification fight against Joshua earlier this month and Hearn took to Twitter to set the record straight on how much the New Zealander picked up.

There had been reports that Parker earned $25m, for the fight at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

A separate story has said American Deontay Wilder has been offered $17m to get into the ring with Joshua, for a fight that crown one of the boxers the undisputed world heavyweight champion.

In that report, it claimed Parker got a $25m payday for his fight with Joshua, which is the same as what the Brit picked up.

After seeing the story, Hearn twice posted on Twitter to confirm that Parker got significantly less than that.

Where an earth do you get that Parker purse from ?


It has been reported that Wilder's team initially asked for a 50/50 split of the money to fight Joshua, but they have subsequently dropped that demand to 40 per cent.

Cut in half and it’s still too much

Parker has yet to make an announcement on when he'll next step into the ring, or who it will be against.

Joe now #5 with the WBC
https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/combat-sports/103053379/joseph-parker-slips-to-no-5-in-wbc-rankings-following-loss

not too bad a place to restart from. Out of the list below I think maybe Pulev or Charles Martin could be available?
1 .- Dillian Whyte (Jamaica/GB) SILVER
2 .- Dominic Breazeale (US)
3 .- Alexander Povetkin (Russia)
4 .- Luis Ortiz (Cuba)
5 .- Joseph Parker (New Zealand)
6 .- Kubrat Pulev (Bulgaria)
7 .- Tony Bellew (GB)
8 .- Johann Duhaupas (France)
9 .- Charles Martin (US)
10 .- Adam Kownacki (US)
11 .- Agit Kabayel (Germany) EBU
12 .- Oscar Rivas (Colombia/Canada) NABF
13 .- Dereck Chisora (GB)
14 .- Carlos Takam (Cameroon)
15 .- Bermane Stiverne (Haiti/Canada)

So Whyte, Breazeale, and Ortiz were all stopped by AJ or Wilder and they are ahead of Parker, who went the distance and was more competitive. Still, doesn't matter. Joe needs to pick an opponent that he can KO before even thinking about top 5. I pick Duhaupas or Bellew.

Don't they both have scheduled fights?

Duhaupas vs Jarrell Miller at the end of the month. http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/238766. Breazeale IS fighting someone soon, just can't recall who it is. I see Parker having a rest, and then fighting one of them in August. I'd even fight Miller if he wins. Would give him a chance to show off his speed, as Miller is slow.
