Eddie Hearn wants to book a big fight for Joseph Parker when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.

The British boxing promoter has listed several potential opponents for the Kiwi in a social media chat between the two.

Hearn forms part of Parker's management team alongside David Higgins (manager) and Kevin Barry (promoter).

While Hearn hasn't ruled out a New Zealand-based showdown between Parker and the undefeated City kickboxing heavyweight Junior Fa, he identified a few more lucrative opponents.

Parker had to remind Hearn of Fa's name, with the charismatic Brit forgetting it.

Hearn said yes Junior Fa, for him, he likes that fight for New Zealand and he likes the idea for them to come over to New Zealand and launch Matchroom to a new audience.

But at that point, Hearn shifted focus to some of the heavyweights biggest guns.

Hearn says that's an interesting fight for the country, but he wants to get Parker back to a world title fight and he really loves the fight with Luis Ortiz, a rematch with Dillian Whyte and even a rematch with Andy Ruiz.
