RE: Joseph Parker - craigyid14 - 10-12-2017 I'm not sure Parkers camp should be throwing stones, Bellew might have beat an injured Haye but its still a better win than anything on Parkers record.

Injured? You mean immobile? RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 10-12-2017 Well, I think it's a way of calling out Bellew. RE: Joseph Parker - U.K. Fight Fan - 10-12-2017 Hearn can basically do what he wants at this point. He has Joshua and has a lot of money. The low ball offer to Parker will still likely be the biggest of his career. Hearn could possibly say 'take it or leave it'. Parker says no and carries on defending his WBO until he faces a mandatory who could potentially beat him, then that low ball offer becomes even lower or disappears completely. Guys like Miller, Povetkin, breazeale, Whyte are all near the mandatory position for WBO. Dangerous game to play if your holding out for a big payday. I've said it before, Higgins should have just kept Eddie sweet and kept his mouth shut. Inexperience I suppose RE: Joseph Parker - Westywarrior - 10-13-2017 Eddie wants the fight and the belt. There’s no need to keep him sweet so to speak. It’s Basically just haggling the best money and conditions for your client. Fighters and managers talk trash all the time and people read too much into it. RE: Joseph Parker - Infern0 - 10-13-2017 Parker and the WBO, if he doesnt step up his performances will just become like the WBA belt when chagaev, ruiz and valuev were all playing pass it around in the mid 00s. Nobody cared about it and everyone knew K2 were the heavyweight champs and the WBA was a b list belt. There wont be a groundswell of demand for hearn to offer silly money to duco for unification. RE: Joseph Parker - Kiwi - 10-13-2017 No - the WBO is about to have Povetkin likely Mandatory. It is still highly valued. I expect Joshua - Parker late next year - so long as he does well in his next 2 fights - maybe Fujimoto and Browne first. RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 10-13-2017 Tyson Fury option for Joseph Parker as relations strain with Anthony Joshua camp Former champ Tyson Fury wasn't happy when his cousin Fury was judged to have lost his WBO title challenge to Joseph Parker but might get a chance to avenge that in 2018. Joseph Parker promoter David Higgins is keen to lure former champion Tyson Fury into a world title fight if plans for a unification bout with Anthony Joshua can't be met. Higgins has engaged Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn in a verbal stoush after heavy criticism of Parker's recent laboured WBO title defence against Hughie Fury in Manchester. Hearn said Parker's performance was "very poor" and meant he was a hard sell in the UK now with fans viewing the Kiwi as a "mismatch" against WBA and IBF champion Anthony Joshua. Joseph Parker's promoter David Higgins is always looking for alternative routes for his WBO world heavyweight champion Joseph Parker. Hearn felt Parker's effort had also devalued a potential clash with Tony Bellew, should Bellew get past David Haye in their juicy London rematch. Higgins is eager to make 2018 a major money year for his unbeaten champion. Higgins believes Hearn is simply trying to lower the value of a Parker v Joshua unification clash and says he won't be "low-balled" by the king-pin of the lucrative British scene. If he and Hearn can't sort out their differences, Higgins is prepared to turn his attention to Tyson Fury and what would be a massive fight in Manchester with the potential to sell out Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United where the Furys are firm fans. Joseph Parker in close quarters with Hughie Fury during their fight in Manchester last month. It might be a longshot as there are obvious obstacles to overcome, although Fury has stated his intention to return to the ring. FURY'S ROAD BACK TO THE RING Firstly Fury, a lineal champion of the division, needs to get his British boxing licence back and clear his name of doping allegations from what has been a long and painful two years since he beat Wladimir Klitschko and then slipped into downward spiral. Secondly the big man needs to get fit. He is seriously overweight though is reportedly increasing his training and desire. Higgins sees a Parker versus Tyson Fury fight as hugely marketable and believes he may be able to get a better share of the spoils from the Fury camp than dealing with Hearn in a year where the Kiwi must cash in on his world title status. Duco Events have a good relationship with the Furys after the Manchester experience and Parker has a real affinity with Tyson Fury as was shown when photos emerged of them partying hard post-fight. "Tyson Fury is training and that opens a possibility of Tyson trying to get his WBO belt back off Joseph," Higgins told Stuff. "Joseph has got the belt Tyson vacated and he beat his cousin Hughie. It's marketable. It would be a big occasion if they squared off at Old Trafford and could potentially be more lucrative for Joseph Parker than the Joshua fight. "The thing is, on the revenue share, we reckon we could do a better deal with the Furys." Higgins described Fury's licence scenario has "a bit of a grey area ... but we are hoping that Tyson does come back". "A guy like that who has come from nothing ... from the bottom up ... and right to the top and then beat Klitschko, he has got that in him. The British media are vicious and are quick to write someone off. "Look, even in Tyson's current state of weight, if he called out Anthony Joshua and fought him, it's still going to generate a hundred million bucks, fat or not fat. The fact is Tyson is still a very marketable, promotable boxer. "A bit of hard work and taking off a bit of weight and he will be back in the frame quickly. So we like to offer him encouragement and support rather than kick a man while he is down as other people seem to like to do." Meanwhile, Higgins is hoping to finalise Parker's next opponent for a December fight this week. He is juggling several options to keep the 25-year-old busy. - Stuff RE: Joseph Parker - NakiFan - 10-13-2017 Tyson Fury vs Joseph Parker Haka competition after 12 pints. Winner takes all. RE: Joseph Parker - mippy - 10-13-2017 I'm surprised Higgins wants to go anywhere the Furies again |
