Joseph Parker has had a 15-minute meeting with world champion heavyweight rival Deontay Wilder and plans to make a dramatic ring entrance in Alabama tomorrow following the American's title defence.

An insider has told the Herald on Sunday that Kiwi heavyweight Parker, who holds the WBO version of the title, intends to announce that he wants to "team up" with Wilder, who holds the WBC belt and is expected to retain it against fellow American Gerald Washington, and take out Britain's fighters "one by one so together they can rejuventate the American heavyweight boxing scene".

WTF is this? WWE?

Well they mentioned Parker was ringside in Wilders post fight interview and thats about as far as it went. Dont think they will be chasing down a match with Parker anytime soon judging by tonights performance.

Parker didn't enter the ring. But in Deontay Wilder speech after the fight he said he wants to fight Joseph Parker as soon as possible.

"I'm ready for Joseph Parker," he said. "The question is... is he ready for me? I've done my part Joseph Parker, now it's time to do yours."

He didn't say he wanted to fight Parker asap.... in fact he seemed pretty quick to brush the question aside to play up to the crowd....

I was mislead by the article somewhat. Watching the video it was like an old boys club.
