Kiwi, the IBF is forcing Fury to fight Glazkov, where Parker is not even ranked. That's ok, because both Fury and Glazkov are both ranked in the top 5 in the WBO, where Parker is #5. A bad loss for either Fury or Glazkov will cost the loser a top 5 ranking, thereby moving up Parker. I see Parker and AJ moving forward in the WBO, after we get rid of Glazkov, Fury, and Martin. Only a matter of time...

Yep - makes sense.
Can only be good for JP. I wouldn't be surprised if the Boxing Orgs want the belts split apart. Perhaps more $$$$ for them? Kevin Barry feels that Fury will vacate perhaps 2 of his belts within months. Amazing. -Kiwi
I see KB's point. No way Fury can keep up his mandatories and the wishes of three alphabets. They let Klit do it because it's Klit, and he's been champ a long time. Still, we have Wilder (WBC) and Chagaev (WBA) as co-champ.

Joseph Parker: I could beat Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko
First time I've ever head Joseph step out and say what he could or could not do with the elite. Maybe Fury rubbed off on him. Klit landed only 56 punches, and threw only 16 power punches??? Pitiful.

What might happen if all the belts get split up again?

Parker-Martz face off at final press conference
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing World rated heavyweight Joseph Parker (16-0, 14 KOs) collides with American Daniel “The Mountain” Martz (14-2-1, 11 KO’s) over twelve rounds on Saturday at the Clauderlands Arena in Hamilton, New Zealand. Parker is coming off a three round demolition of former world title challenger Kali Meehan. Kevin Barry, who trains Parker, said “Joseph Parker is rated #5 with the WBO, #11 with the WBC and #12 with the WBA and we are very confident that the IBF are going to put him in their next rankings. We’re going to continue to move up the rankings and next year there’s a very good chance we are going to see Joe fighting for a mandatory position with one of the organizations. “Daniel Martz, at 6’7, is the tallest opponent Joe has faced and at 24 years of age, he’s a young guy who’s in his prime. Daniel had plenty of time to train for this fight – he knew three weeks prior to the fight being announced – so he has had two and a half months to train for this fight. He had four weeks in Russia training with Alexander Povetkin to help him prepare for the Wach fight. We know Martz is going to be in the best shape of his career.” Parker is already scheduled to be in action again against experienced American southpaw Jason “Ironman” Bergman (25-11-2, 16 KOs) on January 23 at the Faleata Sports Complex in Apia, Samoa.
