Can't see a rematch with AJ any time soon so why would Hearn want Parker on the undercard of an AJ fight unless its hoping he'd lose to Whyte? But surely he & Povetkin are looking for a title fight next so can't really se where Parker would fit.
He's definately more known. It was good exposure. He was heavily hyped all over Sky Sports..

The fight was a major disappointment. I've heard casuals talking about it today and the overall impression is that they were disappointed by the fight. Parker never went for it when he needed to. People want to be entertained.

Joshua probably has one more chance left. If he stinks it out again he will have to leave stadiums unless its against Wilder.

Interesting perspective. A bit harsh, but interesting. the Ref stole any excitement that might have been offered.

Is Ortiz still with Matchroom? How about that as a fight against Parker?

Love to see it, but way too tough for first fight back. IMHO.
