Joseph Parker

Yeah, I think he's staying at home, but his strength and diet coach, Lockhart is coming out to help him during this time.  Mainly so he trains and doesn't cheat on the food. Smart!

It's a shame that AJ seems to be avoiding Parker

The solution? Parker has to get hold of a belt.

After the USYK/ Fury fight it is possible some belts may come loose.

JP will be hoping he can fight for one of these

AJ hasn't responded, as he wants Fury if he wins. But, he needs to fight someone in the meantime. JP? Whyte hasn't responded to JP's taunts. And JP also needs a fight. Unfortunately, I think we'll end up with JP/Ruiz. Some good fights coming up in a month or so though: Wilder/ZZ, Usyk/Fury, Hrgovic/DDD.

I'm picking ZZ, Usyk, and DDD.

If Ruiz looks good v Big Baby then could be marketable $ fight and poss WBO title?
The if JP wins belt AJ will want him until then too risky for AJ who despite having won over public opinion has only looked good v Wallin (who looked poor) and Nganno who is a 2 fight novice.
AJ ad his team aren't fools- JP is a very different boxer/man than he was 10 years or so ago.

Well, if a WBO belt is on the line, JP and Ruiz would jump at it. I think Ruiz ko's Big Baby late. AJ? Yeah, I agree. He's not gonna take a chance on losing a mega fight with Fury if Fury wins. I can also see Usyk winning big and retiring, foregoing the rematch.
So I think if AJ bides his time, he's facing Fury in a mega fight or JP if the Fury fight doesn't come off.
