Englishman Bellew and his promoter Eddie Hearn raised the prospect of facing Parker for his WBO title after Bellew shocked the boxing world when upsetting David Haye at London's O2 Arena yesterday. Bellew goes well in the UK - he's very popular - and added to that Eddie Hearn has publicly called on it to happen. A British newspaper reported that 700,000 pay per view packages were sold for the Haye v Bellew fight in the UK. Most pundits, including this one, would predict a victory for Parker over Bellew given his speed, power and technical ability. Bellew would have been down on the judges' scorecards against the relatively slow Haye until Haye's injury in the sixth round.
