Boxing: Three contenders emerge as Joseph Parker's next opponent (New Zealand Herald)

While the 34-year-old Hunter, whose sole defeat came against Oleksandr Usyk for the WBO cruiserweight title in 2017, is clearly keen to challenge Parker, he is ...

“It’s a uniquely New Zealand thing to take a whitewash win and turn it into a negative. Joseph will be disappointed with aspects of his performance and will be changing things — certain aspects of the camp and the timing. “We have the capability to promote it in New Zealand or Australia. Whyte got put down in round 12; Chisora went down a couple of times. He wants to fight again in April/May and so there are a few discussions going on. We had Parker v Andy Ruiz for the world title in Auckland. The fight should be made, we are getting closer to making a decision.” It’s just a matter of weighing everything up. “There’s pros and cons to all of them. British heavyweight Daniel Dubois (19-1) is also in the mix. That would be an adjustment, but Joseph hasn’t fought in Australia so that would be quite interesting.” “Those are the names that have been discussed with us.

US heavyweight Michael Hunter 'close' to Joseph Parker fight deal (Stuff.co.nz)

Joseph Parker Vs. Michael Hunter In The Works For UK Fight ... (Boxing News 24)

By Jake Tiernan: Michael Hunter revealed today that he'd got a fight in the works against former WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker in the UK, and he's.

In Hunter’s last fight, he was held to a 10 round draw against journeyman Jerrry Forrest in December 2021. Parker should focus on fighting contenders if he wants to get another title shot before he ages out because he’s going in the wrong direction if he faces Hunter next. The judges scored 96-93, 97-92, and 97-93. Hunter hoping to lock in Parker fight Parker, 31, started fast in the first four rounds, looking impressive in taking the fight to the weaker, smaller Massey, but in the second half of the contest, he gassed badly and was fought to a near standstill. Parker (31-3, 21 KOs) is trying to get more wins under his belt to get in position for a world title shot after his recent eleventh round knockout loss to Joe Joyce in a battle for the WBO interim heavyweight title in Manchester.
