Do you mean that Usyk (not Parker?) has never shied away from a challenge?

Yes I mean Usyk has never shied away from a challenge. Parker hasn't either but my point is Usyk has always looked to move towards the biggest challenges. Although I agree with Bart that the smart move is to wait & fight in the future in a potential unification, by fighting now the winner becomes the clear #1 contender imo & potentially a challenge (in Usyk's eyes) that he'd prefer to take over the Fury/ Joshua winner. The problem for both Parker & Kabayel is Usyk's age & timeline. If he only fights once more after the Dubois rematch, the higher profile fight will be a trilogy with the Fury/ Joshua winner. If Parker & Kabayel are really interested in fighting the man, then they need to try to create a demand for Usyk to fight them or they may have to wait for the titles to splinter & pick them up that way.
