Joseph Parker

I still hold out hope that Usyk (once he defeats Dubois again) will then choose to defend against Parker. That would be the best scenario for Parker as the fight could happen towards the end of the year & he gets to fight the lineal champion. I'm not sure if Dubois fulfils the mandatory against Parker if he wins. So an upgrade or fight for the vacant belt would probably come into play. I just hope Parker doesn't go stale on the shelf. If he doesn't fight until early next year it'll be around another year of inactivity, with only 2 rounds of action since the Zhang fight. His team should have line up a keep busy for July to keep him match fit & on the same schedule as Usyk & Dubois.
