Joseph Parker to fight IBF eliminator on 21st May

[treelo]

means he will be scheduled to fight the winner of the Joshua v Martin fight

seems the IBF wants to get the young unbeaten guys all fighting each other, which will only benefit the sport in the long run with a champion who will have beaten a few decent level guys when the dust has settled

As a fan of both I wanted to see them kept apart for longer but as a fight fan it's a good fight which can't fail to entertain.

 

[THE BOSS]

This should be a good fight with both fighters having good power. I think its going to be up to if Takam's chin can hold up for 12. I have Parker winning this one.

Parkers best KO's have come from punches that the other fighter does not see... He has amazing speed. Takam can take a good punch, but I have it Parker catching him off guard early in round 3 OR Parker by decision. Barring Takam knocking him out which he so totally can. Sherman Williams had the better game plan but was picked apart from the outside. Takam cant rush Parker and apply the type of pressure he does.

This should be a good fight to measure him and Joshua on.

I believe Erkin Teper is the next highest rated.

IBF has him listed as "Joshua" Parker.
