So basically it'll be a consolation division. But do you really think Parker is small and cannot compete at legit heavy? Just don't see a need for added stops as Cruiser has worked just fine for that all along. Boxing already tried the jr hvy/spr cruiser nonsense in the 90's and I think it consisted of maybe 2,3 fights and a tin belt that is collecting dust in some pawn shop right now. Okolie is 6'5 with a division on the verge of parting open. No time to waste away years being looked at as secondary to cruiser tbh. Plenty of decent lighter hvy fights he can take to climb all ranks and not just be isolated to the wbc experiment league.
