Boxing: Parker thinks Fury is the best heavyweight of this era

Joseph Parker, a former WBO heavyweight champion, believes that Tyson Fury is the best heavyweight boxer at the moment. The ‘Gypsy King’ destroyed Deontay Wilder in February and stunned many with his aggressive style. Fury, who had a controversial draw with Wilder in 2018, battered the previously unbeaten Wilder via TKO in the seventh round to win the WBC heavyweight title. Many fight pundits think that Fury should also beat Anthony Joshua for cementing his legacy. The 'Bronze Bomber' has invoked his rematch clause. Thus, the 31-year-old Fury has to face Wilder before thinking about a meet with Anthony Joshua. Meanwhile, the unified heavyweight champion Joshua will lock horns with Kubrat Pulev. The battle for the WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO titles was due to happen this summer at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. However, the coronavirus pandemic forced Eddie Hearn to postpone the event.
