For the boxing fans amongst us... What's your thoughts on this one?
I like Parker and his team, he's down to earth and his promoter seems like a nice nerdy chap who makes a pretty embarrassing public figure. I think he has a good brain on him, he's fairly fast, good footwork, but not sure he's got much on his punches.
Whyte seems a bit thick, and he's happy to take on the brash role in a heartbeat. He's actually got solid fundamentals, and has done everything required to get another title fight. I think Wilder would probably rather vacate the belt than fight him before his payday/retirement bonus after losing to AJ. I think his power will play a big factor late on in the fight, and it's the only reason I would make him slight favourite in a tear-up that will likely go the distance.
Another interesting question, is what next for the winner... and what next for the loser?
