Kevin Mitchell, boxing writer for the Guardian, told Radio Sport's Martin Devlin on the DRS Show that Parker is an impressive prospect which actually hinders his chance of a title shot against Briton Joshua. That and the fact that Joshua is lining up a huge pay day in a fight against compatriot Tyson Fury, means Parker will have to wait in line.
"He's [Parker] impressive, he's obviously got power, style. He's made a good impression. There's no two ways about that. He's probably in the unenviable situation of being slightly dangerous," Mitchell said.
