Joseph Parker is the odds-on favorite to face Fury

Former WBO world heavyweight champion Joseph Parker (25-2-0) is most likely the next guy to step in the ring with Tyson Fury.

Later yesterday it became known that Fury and WBC world heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder (40-0-1) won't be clashing again this summer, the bookies in the UK are putting the New Zealander in the pole position for Fury's next rival.

Parker, 27, is co-promoted by Top Rank and Bob Arum and there is no doubt that this will be one of the easiest fights to make, therefore UK fraction makers Betway are offering only 2:5. Next in line is Dillian Whyte with 3:1, while Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua are being backed at 16:1.

Fury and Parker are best of buddies ever since 2017 when the Kiwi won his fight with Fury's cousin - Hughie via MD.
