From BLOB to the belt? Parker’s path to Usyk, Shoot’s title faces criticism

Joseph Parker and his team want an opportunity for the title against the unified heavyweight champion of three Oleksandr Usyk orientations below after his second round victory over Martin Bakole of 315 pounds of 315 pounds last Saturday in the place of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Boxing fans on social networks are Not interested Seeing Parker Challenge, WBA, the WBR and the heavyweight champion of the OMB, USYK, then for his title. They see that as a much less interesting game for Usyk than to face the FII champion, Daniel Dubois, in a rematch for the undisputed championship. That fight makes much more sense.

No case for USYK

Parker (36-3, 24 kos) has not proven to be worthy of an opportunity for the world title against Usyk or even Dubois because their last three fights have had asterisks with them because their advanced age and opponents are out of form .

The last three victories of Parker:

-Martin Bakole: 315 pounds of unreasonable Blob
-Zhilei Zhang: 291 lb and 41 years
-Doeontay Wilder: 1-3 Record in the fight

Parker needs to fight Bakole in a rematch after having gone through a complete 10 -week camp and losing more than 40 pounds to go down to a reasonable weight. That would be fair. An alternative would be that Parker fights Agit Kabayel. The winner receives an opportunity for the title and returns to the row.

Bakole (21-2, 16 KO) reached a two-day warning and was flattened by a right hand of Parker in the second round of this disappointing burst in the main support fight in the Arturbiev vs. letter vs. Dmitry Bivol 2. Those two fights failed to deliver the emotion that was expected during the accumulation of the Saturday event.

“It would be incredible to fight Dubois or Usyk. We will see what they have planned, ”said Joseph Parker to Fight Hub TV When asked who wanted to fight after his victory over Martin Bakole on Saturday night in Riyadh.

“Ussyk,” said coach Andy Lee to the field of what he wants below for his fighter Parker. “Joe defeats him (USYK). Joe is faster and we have the power. Joe can match him, and is younger and more fresh. Joe can match it in every way. Trust me. You may not believe me, but trust me. “

“Martin Bakole was qualified as one of the best. Nobody (wanted to fight him). Joe did it, and looked what he did, “said Parker’s manager Spence 40 pounds to be exact), but that’s what he has done. “
