Wladimir Klitschko's trainer has urged Kiwi heavyweight Joseph Parker to spread his wings and fight in Europe or the United States in order to make more money and increase his profile. After Duco won the purse bid for the Fury fight with an offer of $4.1m, Parker will bank $2.4m - his richest payday yet. But while Parker has sparred with Klitschko, the former lineal champion probably isn't in the South Aucklander's sights, according to Banks. "I don't think, once this fight is over with, Klitschko v Joshua, I don't see Joseph Parker wanting to fight Wladimir. Banks said the Parker v Fury match-up was a good one because both fighters were young, fast and strong.
