Joseph Parker is the bookies favourite to become IBF heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua's next opponent.
The unbeaten New Zealander (19-0) became Joshua's mandatory last month when he outpointed Carlos Takam in a final eliminator and is now priced at 5/4 to be his next opponent.
Following Joshua's demolition of Dominic Breazeale this weekend, his promoter Eddie Hearn expressed his desire to make a fight with the Kiwi in November.

It would signal a significant step up in quality for AJ with the 24-year old considered one of the hottest prospects in the heavyweight division.
Joshua is expected to take some time out from boxing in the meantime and make the trip to Rio to support the Team GB Olympians.
Parker meanwhile, must first fight Solomon Haumono on July 21 before he can look ahead to a world title showdown.
Other names being linked with Joshua are Liverpool's David Price and current WBC champion Deontay Wilder, who are both priced at 5/1.

Fans clamouring for a fight with Joshua's domestic nemesis, Tyson Fury, might have to wait a bit longer however, with the bookies pricing the man from Wilmslow at 33/1. This will be partially due to the postponement of his own world title defence against Wladimir Klitshcko due to an ankle injury.
