Joshua holds the IBF, WBA and IBO heavyweight titles, while Parker holds the WBO crown. "My message was Joe would fight Joshua next and Hearn's message was that Joshua would fight Parker next. "If they put the right amount of money on the table we will go to America to fight Wilder." British media have reported that Joshua had indicated he would like to fight Wilder by the middle of 2018. If the Joshua bout did not come off then Parker could fight unbeaten Australian Lucas Browne instead, Higgins said.
