Deontay Wilder wants Joseph Parker to stop wasting his time trying to find a late replacement for Hughie Fury. Wilder would prefer Parker to skip his May 6 fight and instead accept a heavyweight title unification fight against him sometime in July.
The unbeaten WBC heavyweight champion has said since he stopped optional challenger Gerald Washington two months ago that he wants to oppose Parker next. New Zealand’s Parker (22-0, 18 KOs) won the then-vacant WBO championship by edging American Andy Ruiz (29-1, 19 KOs) by majority decision December 10 in Auckland, New Zealand. Parker was supposed to make a mandatory defense against Fury on May 6 in Auckland, but England’s Fury (20-0, 10 KOs) withdrew from the fight Saturday, supposedly due to a lower-back injury. - See more at: http://www.boxingscene.com/wilder-parker-forget-about-6th-fight-me-july--115944#sthash.CQ8ExzjL.dpuf
