Reading between the lines , I’m guessing this first fight of his 3 fight deal with DAZN is to a warm up fight , he then gets chisora .
It hasn’t been said exactly , but it’s been hinted at .
-
@kiwiinmelb Yes it is the first fight of his 3 fight DAZN deal. It depends on whether Hearn wants to keep Parker in the US or not so him fighting Chisora next isn't a foregone conclusion as Chisora seems to only fight in the UK these days to prop up Hearn's UK cards and I wouldn't be suprised if Chisora loses his next fight against Artur Szpilka which would end any chance of Chisora facing Parker later in the year.
-
I didn’t mean a forgone conclusion , but there was a fair bit of interaction between them when they were both in New York for the Joshua Ruiz fight , playfully stirring each other up about fighting, Higgins posting a photo of them saying, who wants to see this fight ?
Hearn has mentioned it would be a good match up on a few occasions.
It does seem a fight all parties are interested in , so wouldn’t surprise to see it at some point , but like you said , a loss in the meantime can spoil that .

Will Schwarz be too spicy for Fury?
I'll get my coat.

Joshuas stocks have fallen , and Fury is becoming a massive name ,
its funny how things can swing around so quickly

Very impressive from Fury, esp. as he came in 12lbs heavier with no discernible loss of speed - hands or movement.
The Americans lapped him up. They have no problem with brash as long as you can back it up.
Kind of feel sorry for Schwarz and boxers like him.
Given fights well within his/their ability to pad the record not improve the boxing IQ and first real test they get exposed badly.

None of these guys will have faced something like Fury though. He was simply toying around switching stance, dropping his hands. I very much doubt if AJ would last long with him at all.
That bit against the ropes where he dodged four punches was Incredible. Ali himself would have been proud of that movement. -

I do love Fury as I said but would still enjoy it if WIlder knocked him out

Settle down guys it was Tom Schwarz haha. He was basically bought in to make Fury look good. Schwarz would barely be top 40.

Ruiz was meant to make Joshua look good as well wasn't he?
I have a massive internal conflict with Fury. Cos I can't stand pikeys.

@MajorRage No, Ruiz has always been a decent operator with the fastest hands in the division and a very solid chin and was a very good opponent to get on short notice. He could have easily been given the nod in the Parker fight but Parker's change of tactics and superior fitness got him home, just.
You don't need to look body beautiful to be the best and that's why Ruiz was written off. AJ for all the muscle he carries, has a terrible gas tank which was evident against Klitschko and Takam and he was gassed very early in the Ruiz fight.
I'll admit that I thought AJ would pull away late after a good showing early on from Ruiz with him giving AJ problems on the inside early on but I didn't expect AJ to get exposed this badly. If I were AJs team, I'd stay away from the rematch and look to rebuild again but it looks like they'll chuck AJ back in with Ruiz again.
Schwarz has a very padded record and has struggled against very low level opposition such as Bacurin, Gashi and Christian Lewandowski. He somehow had a ranking of 2 with the WBO and 9 with the IBF so I guess Fury will force himself into a few mandatories with a couple of alphabet organisations which is all you could take from such a mismatch of a fight.

@African-Monkey Cheers ... although the point was more than anybody can win on the day in this division.
Absolutely bow to your superior knowledge tho!

@MajorRage Yup fair. It's happened many times before.

@MajorRage that's almost worth a ban.
This is the Fern! Superior knowledge only exists as you type your posts.
