Joseph Parker vs Junior Fa is close to being signed apparently, with December the likely date. Fa reportedly wants $500,000 and it sound like the offer is close to that.
Trucking billionaire Lindsay Fox's 30 metre yacht is docked on the Gold Coast in breach of the COVID rules after slipping out of Melbourne on August 9th and stopping on at least five occasions as it sailed up the east coast.
Don't the penalties for Covid rules breaches include potential jail time? Those cunts on that yacht and those birds who travelled from Melb through Sydney that had the rona and took it up to QLD..... they are all perfect examples of where the jail part of the penalties should be used.
Or even at the very lest bung an ankle monitor on them and give them 6 months home detention. Keep them away from potentially passing it to the screws and the inmates at the jails
Parker-Fa seems to be edging closer to a reality according to Parker :
"Hopefully we can make a deal. I think it will happen - we have given them what they've asked for. If they don't want to sign, then we are prepared to walk away and fight someone else who is keen to fight - we are talking about a lot of money. I am ready to go. I have been training twice a day. I just want to get back in the ring and give someone a beating."
Was watching some Lester Ellis, Jeff Fenech fights yesterday and had forgotten neither managed to beat Kelvin Grove. Grove beat Ellis twice and Fenech once, and he stopped both. It took adopted Aussie Kostya Tszyu to beat Groves, and that was in Groves' final career fight.
Jai Opetia is being directed on a path towards a showdown with IBF champion Yuniel Dorticos. But Jai, who is currently IBF #4, will likely need to first beat IBF #3 Kevin Lerena.
Meanwhile, Dorticos needs to defend agsinst Mairis Breidis in a couple of weeks time.
For a heavyweight his body movement and evasion looks very good. But we won't know how good he really is - at least in the pro ranks - until he is pitted against top opposition.
Hard to say how much they are really giving each other there.
But Huni who would have been 17 and world youth amatuer champ or near on being the champ looks real good.
Opelu would have been 23 an not yet debuted as a pro.
Hopefully the reasoning is that COVID won't allow him good enough paydays to make it worthwhile. At 26 he could go back to work until crowds are allowed to return and then make a comeback. Saying that, I am guessing there isn't another reason why he has quit.
Maybe. But I don't see why he would need to say he is retiring for that.
