Parker wants fights with Joshua, Wilder and Bellew in the new year

WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker has already compiled a list of New Year's wishes. They include fights against world champions Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder, as well as a duel with Tony Bellew. At the moment Parker's team is busy negotiating with WBA, IBF and IBO title holder Anthony Joshua about a meeting in March or April.

"I'd like to fight Joshua in the UK as that's where the draw card is," Parker told. "I'd also like to fight Wilder in America in Vegas and then I'd like to fight Tony Bellew. Those are the fights I want to make happen in 2018."

"I'd love to fight Tony Bellew," Parker said. "We had discussions to fight when David Haye pulled out of the fight but we weren't in a full camp so not able to jump in and fill his place. I feel like if I had a great camp and prepared for Tony Bellew I could put on a great fight and beat him. Hopefully we can make something happen.

"But again it comes down to both teams being happy. I know he's a massive draw card so we would have to sit down and negotiate how we're going to split things but I feel it's a great possibility to fight in 2018. He's a great fighter but he's a cruiserweight coming up to heavyweight. I have better skills and a little bit more power."
