Parker vs Kabayel should happen as co-main. But are both willing to risk their interim status against each other

No it shouldn't!

Parker needs to sit out while the 2 ducks quack their way to undisputed.

I'm picking whoever wins gets stripped cos The Oilskin is too mighty for them to face in the ring.

Parker deserves the shot but we know boxing ain’t fair. So glass half full he gets a gimme next defending his wacky interim belt while he waits

[IronDanHamza]

I'd rather Parker fight someone else and inevitably lose so I don't have to watch him lose every single round to Usyk on route to a boring decision loss.

But I'd imagine he'll just sit out and wait.

Artificial merry go round, no sporting reason for Usyk to have been stripped of IBF in favour of Dubois - who had just lost to Usyk. And yet this fake transfer is the only reason Usyk v Dubois is happening again, after Dubois just ducked Parker. Could Alasheikh buy all the sanctioning bodies and unify them under the Ring belt instead please? (He could make it one Authoritarian sanctioning body just like at home in Saudi)

Lol...You must be so pissed he beat Wilder, Zhang and Bakolie.

Perfect last 2 fights for Usyk before he hangs up the gloves

Who would even be favored to beat him?

Kabayel maybe, but he stands to inherit the WBC title if and when Usyk retires before fighting him so it's doubtful he'd take that.

Parker already has recent wins over Bakole, Chisora, Zhang, and Wilder. Joshua looks shot to pieces and is trying to lure a retired Fury into a cashout fight.

So who does that even leave for Parker to lose to? Ajagba? Pulev? Hrgovic? Miller? I'd pick Parker to beat any of those guys.

Nah. Actually quite dislike all 3 of those (more so Billy Nelson in the nose breakers case)

Parker's just a guy who got beat up by Dillian Whyte. I can't really take him seriously vs someone like Uysk.
