Parker is already the mandatory challenger, he technically doesn’t have to fight anyone. He could just sit and wait for Usyk but instead he’s taking on a top 10 opponent voluntarily.

Usyk got 2 or 3 years left. So parker, kabayel, gassiev, Sanchez it is then. Maybe it auama too

On any given night Kabayel could beat anyone in the division. This guy is no joke.

Should be Parker vs Kabayel,, Not Parker vs Wardley respectfully

If he skips Kabayel he risks the WBA or IBF calling their mandatories. Pulev is defending the Regular belt against Gassiev, so that could be the WBA mandatory. And it appears Dubois vs Sanchez will determine the IBF mandatory.
So if the options are Kabayel, Pulev/Gassiev, or Dubois/Sanchez I think Kabayel is the easy choice.
