Joseph Parker entered the ring last Saturday night, jumped the gun and summoned Oleksandr Usyk after a heavyweight title victory at Wembley Stadium in London.
Parker’s promotional stunts
Joseph’s move to Usyk (24-0, 15 KO) on the spot was a move, hoping he would agree to the fight and start the marketing process. Daniel Dubois adopted the same sneaky tactic and did the same thing against Usyk last December, imposing an unnecessary rematch on him after he beat Riyadh’s Tyson Fury.
In this case, Dubois was also allowed to enter the ring. Fans don’t want to see a rematch between Oleksandr and Dubois, as the first in 2023 tells them everything they need to know. Dubois broke mentally when the pressure was on.
Parker’s final three wins against 315-pound Martin Bakole, 41-year-old Zhilei Zhang, while the faded Deontay Wilder’s victory wasn’t enough to increase his popularity among the boxing public. Fans know those guys are fewer fighters.
Parker needs to beat this young talent to make him a more viable option for Usk
-Agit Kabayel
– Moses will bite
-Bakhodir Jalalov
– Lennier, but
It is questionable whether Parker’s pressure strategy will work for him, as it is not a sales battle that can be sold to fans. Oleksandr did the busy Dubois (22-3, 21 KOS) by playing a more profitable match with Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury. However, Usic also has no commercial reason to throw bones at Parker (36-3, 24 KOS).
USYK and Parker’s bonfire
Usyk boiled down to the last battle of his career before he retired. So if he’s going to fight Parker next, he’ll lose millions. Usyk reportedly made $100 million in December for Fury’s rematch. If he was going to fight Parker, he might not even make half of the money. The battle with Parker is like Throw millions of people onto a bonfire For Usyk
“We need to make a plan now. I need to go to the ring and fight. I’ve been waiting for a long time (5 months),” said Joseph Parker Professional boxing fans About wanting to play against the undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk. “It’s great to see him become two undisputed world champions. I’m waiting for my chance. I’m going to see if he actually gave me it, and hopefully we can share the rings together and have a great fight.”
