Parker calls for a rematch with Whyte (Music video)

Best call out ever?
Nope, Zhang ignored his own rematch clause and signed to fight Wilder, leaving Parker out with no dance partner.
There's nothing surely about it. Parker seems to have improved, Whyte hasn't had good momentum lately, it's plausible that Parker could actually get his win back. Not to mention, Parker is generally running out of people to fight as he's already fought Joshua, Wilder, Whyte, Ruiz, Joyce, and Zhang (and Usyk / Fury might be tied up as well as possibly Hrgovic / Dubois and even Kabayel - Sanchez). If he doesn't fight Whyte, then you think he should be fighting Wallin who was stopped 4 months ago? Or just same random from on down the rankings like Lenier Pero?
Beating Wilder, Zhang and Whyte in a year would be the best short run of any heavyweight in years in terms of name value. I can't actually think of the last time a heavyweight had a run of names that big in such a short amount of time. He would avenge a tough loss against someone he is now a big favourite over, whilst also making the most money he can from an opponent not named Joshua that isn't tied up in other fights. He is risking his WBO mandatory but that won't happen for another year.Syntax Error wrote: ↑09 Apr 2024, 17:53 Very funny, but Parker would be looking backwards if he goes for a Whyte rematch.
Whyte hasn't done anything of note recently, whereas Parker has got himself right back at the top table and if he beats Zhang, he's ready for a shot at a trinket.
You know, you're bang on the money to be fair.joshj909 wrote: ↑10 Apr 2024, 04:28Beating Wilder, Zhang and Whyte in a year would be the best short run of any heavyweight in years in terms of name value.

Just see if as a keeping busy fight until he gets his mandatory shot rather than an opportunity to propel him closer to a title shot. I think it makes most sense for him in that capacity. An opponent like Bakole carries risk and little reward. Who else is even left unless he becomes inactive?
