Joseph Parker has a very long wish list, but it appears that Otto Wallin could be the front runner to face the former world champion later this year. Parker, inactive since dropping Derek Chisora three times before winning on points last December, is now part of the Boxxer stable, but his next fight is still unconfirmed.
Since losing his WBO crown to Anthony Joshua in 2018, Parker has endured numerous hard encounters including a loss to Dillian Whyte the same year. Desperate to regain a portion of the world crown, Parker has enlisted Andy Lee to help with his training in recent contests, and now feeling rejuvenated, Ben Shalom, Parker’s new promoter, is eager to push his man into a big fight.
"We are still hopeful of the Dillian Whyte rematch and Joe Joyce fight for him, but we have had an offer for him to fight Otto Wallin," said Shalom when speaking to Mirror Fighting courtesy of Bet365.
"It is another thing we are considering, he would also like the fights with Deontay Wilder and Andy Ruiz.
“He wants to fight anyone and everyone but the end of September or early October he will be fighting. We are still hopeful of making the fights we identified at the start, and we think Joseph is going to perform very well on Sky. We think that one of these fights will be announced in the next couple of weeks."
