Dexter’s Thoughts
What a great statement for Parker to make on his debut for Queensberry promotions, he has added another title to his CV and has cemented his WBO number 1 contender ranking. He stated in his interview after that he would love to fight the winning of Billy Joe Saunders, Canelo Alvarez fight as he wants to be tested by the best. He is the number 1 contender so I think he should get this opportunity and the way he is boxing at the moment and his confidence he could maybe upset the world scene. Hopefully, he gets the chance as he deserves the opportunity.
