"Fair play to Django he showed up and came to fight, there's a lot of levels in boxing and Joe's a world heavyweight champion former and he's soon to be back there in my opinion."<\/p>\n

Fury then went on to list a number of possible opponents for Parker, even calling out nemesis Anthony Joshua in an expletive ridden statement. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"I'd like to see him fight maybe a rematch with Andy Ruiz, Joe Joyce or even Dillian Whyte or even AJ (Anthony Joshua)," he said.<\/p>\n

"F–k them all, Joseph Parker is f—ing back on the map."<\/p>\n

While Parker didn't name an opponent he'd like to face, the former champion said he's available to "anyone" with trainer Andy Lee stating he can become second to Fury. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"He needs activity but he'll be ready for anyone, he's as good a heavyweight out there," he said.<\/p>\n

"This man behind us (Fury) is number one but he can be number two, he just needs activity, consistency and he'll be there."<\/p>\n

Parker said the big first round win was all about getting back into form after he lost to Joshua and Whyte in 2018 and Joyce last year. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"I haven't had the best performances of late but it was a statement and I want to fight as soon as I can," he said.<\/p>\n

"I want to keep busy, I need to get busy to keep momentum and get back to the top as fast as I can."<\/p>\n
