Eddie Hearn Reveals Discussion On Location For Anthony Joshua Vs Deontay Wilder
There is no denying that Joshua is the bigger name and the bigger draw in the fight, in every sense, but Parker still holds a version of the heavyweight title which has to be factored in too.
Higgins added his company Duco Events had received more money from a city or government willing to host an event than what Hearn was offering.
I have mentioned it (to Parker) and he just laughed like I did'. "I reckon Eddie respects boxing and I reckon Anthony Joshua wouldn't want to insult Joseph Parker".
Joshua is also in negotiations now to face WBC heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder and one would suspect that would take priority if a deal was reached first. "Who told me to get fit?"
"I hope people don't make this as awkward as they want it to be, if they're realistic about what they want we can definitely make this fight happen".
Last week the Parker made it clear that he wanted a shot at the Brit. I want to test his chin and put on a great show.
What it could also mean is that if both fighters win one of the first two, there will no doubt be a third to decide the overall victor.

Higgins said any agreement had be a fair one and be respectful of Parker having earned a world title.
"It's a moving feast", he said.
Parker's last fight was in September, when he defended his world title by beating British opponent Hughie Fury by majority decision in Manchester to take his record to 24-0.
Higgins, for his part, has said he will not even dignify Hearn's offer with a response and indicated that his fighter could now pursue other avenues - with a fight with Australia's Lucas Browne among those being touted.
Parker doesn't have to make a mandatory defence until the end of next year so is eager to fight a couple of voluntary bouts if the unification talks stumble as they appear to be doing.
Clearly there's still a long way to go with so many options still a possibility but the idea of the pair having one fight in the United Kingdom and another in America is certainly one that would appeal to many.
