Ward is pretending he's retired
Bellew/Parker wouldn't generate interest.
Bellew is only really a draw in liverpool (Haye was the A Side) and Parker has no belt and is coming off a loss and his fight with Joshua was seen as boring as was his one with hughie tbh. Basically there'd be zero interest
Parker would love the fight but he won't get it.
Also Bellew is Champion Emeritus with the WBC so he always has the option of an instant mandatory with them at cruiser.
Parker is in a bit of a tough spot tbh as he did get respect for going 12 with joshua but the lasting memory seems to be that parker is a boring fighter.
Joe needs to just get a couple of quick fights in against somewhat recognizable names who he can smash to bits, he needs to change that opinion of himself being boring.
