WBO has ordered heavyweight champion Oleksand Usyk (23-0, 14 Kos) Next to face the temporary belt holder Joseph Parker (36-3, 24 Kos). Both have a month (30 days) to create an agreement to average a purse offer with sanctions.
Usyk choice
It will depend on usyk at the age of 38 to determine if he wants to face Parker or focus on a more profitable game that people are interested in seeing.
Parker has renewed his career with recent wins over 310 pounds of bole outside and two older heavyweight-Dontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang.
New Zealand Parker was scheduled to challenge IBF champion Daniel Dubois on February 22, but Dubois pulled out with the disease. It would have been a very tough fight for Joseph to win because Dubois is in his main and new.
Parker has a boring style of fighting, and his personality seems to worry fans of their seeing. If Usik faces him, many fans will pass this fight if it is sold to PPV. Without a large sub-card, Usyk-Parker is a lack of fight.
Fans would rather see WBA, WBC and WBO champion usyk Face Dubois in an indisputable championship rather than in Parker. He is considered the next best heavyweight in the division next to usyk.
Both of them would be a great fight. If Usik wins in the fight against Parker, he may still face Dubois in a repeat match if it is a match that interests him.
Usik comes from the victory over Tyson Fury and he looks hard to beat. He sent Fury retired with a recent victory over him on December 21 in their repeated match last year.
Parker has to take the greatest option as he needs seven years to get to this position after lost WBO’s title for Anthony Joshua in 2018.
