I suppose I should stop being so pessimistic

Hughie Fury as an outside chance?

Hughie has got a fight announcement soon but he's locked into Wembley in March and Duco don't like to stray from their plans. Rossy's record doesn't look great on paper but he's made some decent fighters work hard for the win and is very durable. I wouldn't hate him as an opponent. Could Solis be an option?

Duco have fleeced the nz and samoa public for 18 or so fights so surely they could have made this happen, just would have meant they would not have made the money they wanted. but their boy would have achieved "his" dream of becoming a world champ. or are they saying hes not ready for martin? strange as a little while ago, he was ready for a klit..... unless they meant lol

Nigs, Mr Higgins and Parker are tight. Probably goes for Lonergan too. I'm sure Joe understands that Martin, an average champ at best, was asking for the moon. I'm also sure Parker appreciates how Duco has taken care of him financially and hooking him up with KB. Tua never had that kind of support from Duva early in his career.
I've often said that there's no way a top ten fighter will come to NZ. Never happened with Tua, won't happen with Joe. Too small a market to pay the going rate, and in Parker's backyard. What I would worry about if I were Parker is that AJ beats Martin, and faces the Fury/Klit winner. The WBA has an extended tournament, which leaves Wilder and the WBC. In other words, lots of hoops to jump through. That said, he needs to be Fedosov or Takam in July, and put himself in a position to contend when his chance comes.
