Joseph Parker

[diehard]

I've seen Gerald Washington fight against Mansour.  He looked good, as it was a draw.  He's also huge at 6'6".  Parker can beat him, but it would be a good fight.  Someone's O has to go!  Breazeale is also huge, but hasn't fought anyone.  Haven't heard of the other two.

Francesco Pianeta in Samoa?

Linked to the Klit camp as a sparring partner, could have been negotiated awhile back during some of the training camps Joseph attended?

[diehard]

Pianata would be an excellent opponent. A tall southpaw coming off a loss, but with a great record and someone who fought for the title. Being Itallian, maybe he'll bring some pasta with him.

Do you think Team Parker is still going after Leapai. I know they were but he always wanted to much money but hes had 3 Losses since Klitschko and he probably should of taken the money when it was offered as i cant see him being in any other significant fights anymore so no more big paydays for him. And since Team Parker seem to be set on Taller fighters now perhaps Leapai has missed his chance at one last decent payday?

Being German based, he'll bring sausages too. Mmmm sausage pasta.

Boxingfan, I thought I heard that they asked Leapai if he wanted to fight Izu, and he said no. I don't know why. But I think that ship has already sailed for Parker and Leapai.

Nakifan, Sausage is supposed to be bad for you. Maybe that's why he may offer it to Parker for breakfast, who eats Burger King.

Izu is on the Dec 5 card as well. And supposedly we find out JP's opponent next week?

JOSEPH PARKER FIGHT IN SAMOA

After bouts across USA, Europe and New Zealand, Joseph Parker’s road to the heavyweight title heads to Samoa on January 23 2016 for a Rumble in Paradise!

It promises to be an emotional homecoming for the 23 year old sporting sensation whose parents were born there.

Parker’s opponent is yet to be named but what is known is he is facing a risky left-handed fighter for the very first time. With so many of the world’s top heavyweights ‘southpaw’ the eyes of the boxing world will be glued to the bout to see if Parker can cope. The world number six must win to ensure he continues his rise up the rankings. Also on the card, the corporate world champion Brown Buttabean who is promising to put on an entertaining show!

Yeah, next week I think. Not many fighters are going to bring a "0" to NZ to fight Parker.

Lonergan has been put to work at the WBO convention, vouching for JP, JH and Izu to move up the rankings.

Also, it's not Brezeale as he is fighting Charles Martin next month.

I've heard JP's next three opponents in NZ/Samoa/NZ will be weak, until he steps in up in the States middle of next year.

My picks are: Dec 5 Daniel Martz. Jan 23 Jason Bergman.

That's what I'm hearing as well, not sure about Bergman though. As I said, it's getting harder to get good opponents down under
