Anthony Joshua is expected to formally announce his next fight just about any day now, and while there’s been plenty of speculation as to who his opponent might be, Joseph Parker tells Sky Sports that he would love to get the call as he believes he’s earned that right.
“There’s a lot of people that want to fight Anthony Joshua. I feel like with what I’ve done I can be in a position to fight him,” he said. “To be honest, it’s not really about what I want and what he wants. It’s what everyone else wants and a lot of fights are happening in Saudi Arabia.”
Parker would continue on by saying if a major world title should become available due to the mandated rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury, he also feels like he could be in line for that shot as well.
If that proves to be the case Parker is in a pretty good position to earn a significant payday or at least some hardware — or perhaps both. Whatever proves to be the case, Parker insists he’s ready for what’s next.
