Renowned journalist and insider Ariel Helwani believes Joseph Parker should be the next opponent for Oleksandr Usyk.
"Wow. Parker wins by second-round TKO after Bakole’s corner says ‘no mas.’ I’m relieved. I wasn’t 100% comfortable watching Bakole take so many shots, considering his condition. Joseph gets the win. Martin gets respect.
Usyk’s next opponent should be Parker. He earned it. I know this sucks for Dubois. They might just try to make that fight again. I also wouldn’t mind a Joshua-Parker rematch, but Joseph’s story is so compelling that I’d love to see him get his shot at Usyk before Usyk retires.", said Helwani.
Parker stopped Bakole in the second round.
