He threw the kitchen sink at Takam and was loading up on everythng thinking he could get a hi light stoppage and burnt himself out early.

He didnt look ready for a belt holder but at the same time if Joshua had fought Takam I dont think he wouldnt have looked any better.

This gives his whole team a chance to reassess where he is.

Iv already mentioned this but getting him in Furys camp as a sparring partner would do him wonders. He looked today like someone whos never been punched back and to be far he hasnt.

Hearn will want a fight between Parker and Joshua because Parker didnt look great but I dont think this fight proved that Parker is not very good I think it just proved he cant fight a world rated challenger the same way he fights domestic level journeymen.
Sparring Fury later rounds would really make him rethink his lumbering footwork, he is so readable at the moment the only time he pretends he is slightly lighter on his feet and reactive is when he is out of range, anyone skip fit is going to have him all night long after playing the first three safe.
