“If all goes well with this fight I have in February, I have no injuries and my hand is healed and can take 100 per cent impact on it as well, then I want that fight (Parker) next,” WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder told. “They are talking about fighting in April and I’d love to come back and fight again in April!”

“A lot of fighters wouldn’t do it, come straight back … but I want to make a great impression in 2017. If all goes well with this fight, I wouldn’t mind turning right around and coming back and fighting Joseph Parker to unify the division with his WBO belt and my WBC belt, and do it that way,” said Wilder.
