Joseph Parker could view Tony Bellew as an "attractive" option to set the scene for an Anthony Joshua fight next summer, says the WBO champion's promoter.

The New Zealander is expected to make an announcement in the next few weeks about facing Hughie Fury in a mandatory title defence, but his promotional team Duco Events have held initial talks about future fights with Bellew and Joshua.

Bellew has admitted he would seriously consider a world title fight instead of a rematch with David Haye, and Parker's backers believe a battle with the Merseysider would boost interest in a unification clash with Joshua.
