Trainer Kevin Barry believes Joseph Parker will find it easier fighting Anthony Joshua than he did disposing of Hughie Fury.
Barry made the eyebrow‑raising call after Parker struggled to put away Fury over the weekend, winning a majority decision in Manchester to retain his WBO heavyweight belt.
Parker's chance to prove that premise could come sooner than expected with The Daily Mirror reporting that a Joshua‑Parker clash is being targeted for July next year at London's Wembley Stadium with negotiations between the two camps underway.
Joshua's last appearance at Wembley Stadium, when he beat former champion Wladimir Klitschko in the fight of the year, drew a capacity crowd of roughly 90,000 to the huge outdoor venue.
Joshua must first get past Bulgaria's Kubrat Pulev on the 28th October in Cardiff, Wales.
The 27‑year‑old Joshua also owns the IBO and WBA championships.
