Analysis – Joseph Parker, certainly, did not have to assume Martin Bakole in Riyadh, but instead presented a performance that probably showed how much completely annoyed, a strange situation had made him.

The Congolese fighter, who came to the ring at 140 kg of 140 kg, wore that frustration when he copied a right over at his skull in the second round. Parker’s punch was enough to throw him on the bakole, to make him turn back and to wisely reduce his contest, handing Parker from the 36 – a career victory.

As much for the “dangerous” label that was attached to Bakole, which tasted the defeat for the first time in his career. You can not blame it for the slight Farcic result, after everything he had said, in the two-day opinion and had to do what is supposed to be a journey not so filed from Kinshasa to Riyadh.

The most frustrating thing is how good Parker looked. He went to 121kgs, the hardest one ever was for a fight, but that would have needed to take him to his initial opponent Daniel Dubois. The announcement on Friday that Dubois was sick Immediately he began to talk about how convenient the fact is that the British was missing, given how profitable his property is on the world title IBF now, is Oleksandr USYK is eager for an undeniable reunification.

From a time, the fight against Parker did not seem attractive, for reasons and from the ring. If Dubois had lost, Parker would have been found in a very strong place in the heavy weight division, without a clear ambition, apart from taking advantage. Dubois has already reported the intention to challenge usyk for WBO, WBA and IBO titles holds Ukrainian undefeated.

He did not help the promoter Frank Warren, practically, acknowledged that Dubois was removed was a very advantageous result for him.

“I feel that the perverse thing is that we have more an option now,” Warren told Sky Sports, with “Perverse” being an interesting way to describe him.

“I would like to see Revance with usyk. This is an option, if you can do it. I would like it. But then we have Joe Parker, we have AJ (Anthony Joshua), which has passed over him and may want to want to want to Do it now with the fact that he was sick, who knows?

Who knows what? Fellow -Promotor Eddie Hearn said Joshua “I would like another crack” in Dubois, after the two met in October last year. Dubois eliminated Joshua in the fifth round in a amazing result, so the appetite in the viewing audience is great for a revenge.

In accordance with IBF rules, Dubois is obliged to reproach his fight with Parker or give up the title. But, as I saw with the situation of Zhilei Zhang last year, in which Parker easily beaten the Chinese weight and had to have an automatic revenge, things can change quite quickly. The problem is Parker’s market share, as much as it is loved and respected in this part of the world, a match between Dubois and Usyk or Joshua will earn more money.

Therefore, it feels that Parker could be shipped again to the co-principal event, which shows how cold the box of boxing can be when it is really reduced to nuts and screws. He won the last six struggles in a row, did everything he asked for and deserves a turn to call his own photos. Parker had cute words to say about Saudi Arabia and Behemoth Financial now, financing the sport, because he knows that if he stays on the spot, at least he will be well offset for it.

Whatever happens, it should be known quite quickly. Warren, Hearn, Turki al-Sheikh and everyone else involved can make the ball roll quickly in this new box, so it is at least positive that Parker will be fresh for the next challenge, after having to value four minutes worth work in the ring against Bakole.
