I doubt it. I think Parker is due by early January.

Hearn could negotiate an extention with Parker's team to hold out till February/March. Joshua is supposed to be out in November time whether it's Parker next or not.

Not with the IBF.

I just had a quick look at the rules mate. It says that if it's your first mandatory defence- you have to defend the belt within a year. After that, all defences have to be within 9 months. There's some special exemption relating to heavyweights aswell for some reason.

He will probably have another pointless bout

They already mandated the date. I don't pay much attention to the alphabet org's, but the IBF is pretty strict with their guidelines.

If Joshua wants to fight someone it must be fast and on short notice, really like, next month or something.
In my opinion he should fight Parker within 2016.
