Former heavyweight master Joseph Parker must wonder what he has to do to secure the title.
The Up-to-date Zelander, which had the WBO version in 2016-2018, is currently the most in the form of a division operator. With victories over the best warriors of Deontay Wilder, Zhilei Zhang and behind schedule substitute Martin Bakole, Parker is the current owner of the WBO ephemeral championships.
Parker is one of the five boxers holding a belt in a weight class of 200 pounds. Others are Oleksandr Usyk [WBA, WBO, and WBC]Daniel Dubois [IBF]. Kubrat Pulev [WBA regular]and Agit Kabayel [interim WBC title].
Now Pulev and Kabayel have never escaped to face Ulat or Dubois, but Parker was to do his world heavyweight title.
The World Boxing Organization has recently informed World Boxing News that Parker had to make his shot on a specific date. President Gustavo Olivieri then updated WBN, stating that the sanctioning authority would consider Uyk’s request to face Dubois in a rematch.
All this is good and good for anyone who wins, because the undisputed title will be on the line of July 19 at the Wembley Stadium in England. But here Parker misses twice.
The 33-year-old, who has 36-3, 24 KO, had a contract with Dubois in February. Many tossed Parker to win this fight in Saudi Arabia.
However, after a meeting related to Turk Alalshikh, in which Dubois and Parker shared an awkward room, the British withdrew earlier, citing the disease.
Bakole, beyond the shape, entered a behind schedule notification to vouch for Parker Gimme, but the damage has already been caused. Now, in order to submit Parker’s misery, WBO accepted the request of Usyk for the next Dubois, which means a longer waiting for a ephemeral ruler.
Parker is promised his shot until December, but this does not escape the fact that he could have an IBF master, a two -time ponderous belt handle, and in the opposite corner of Usyk for the undisputed crown.
This is a massive blow to the face for Parker, who deserves a chance before Dubois simply because of the way he withdrew from their fight. Add to this, Usyk has already stopped Dubois; Parker is dug when it is down.
Only a significant confusion made of an illegal low blow, from which Usyk properly devoted time to recovery, caused a rematch, which he does not care for many external fans of Great Britain.

However, after the victory over Anthony Joshua, the British pay-per-view pay system works slightly like the winner’s format. This scenario means that Dubois may have wrenches for Wembley Stadium until another British warrior appears.
Wembley’s power is significant, which is undoubtedly why Usyk wanted to face Dubois on the Parker. Without Dubois, a fight in Wembley would not be possible for Uyk, who, despite defeating Tyson Fury and Joshu, could never compete at the historic stadium.
Usyk vs Parker would probably return to Riyadh and saw for the third time in a row how the Ukrainian fight in the Kingdom of Arena.
As always, cash talks, and Parker may wonder what could be. He can only hope that if Usyk repeats his victory, as expected, he does not retire and does not give up all world belts of heavyweight championships, he is fully united twice.
It would be a nightmare scenario for Parker, which could remain competing for the title of heavyweight WBO instead of all four.
