Looks like Wilder and AJ reaching out to Parker.
Parker's team trying to jack up the price though.

Parker's Promoter Details Status of Making Joshua Deal, Wilder Too - Boxing News
Parker's Promoter Details Status of Making Joshua Deal, Wilder Too
by Lyle Fitzsimmons

Britain's Anthony Joshua and New Zealander Joseph Parker are keen to fight each other in a heavyweight title unification clash early next year but the finances have to be right for both boxers, Parker's promoter said on Wednesday.

Joshua holds the IBF, WBA and IBO heavyweight titles, while Parker holds the WBO crown. America's Deontay Wilder holds the WBC title.

All three world champions are undefeated and ready to face each other in 2018.

"Eddie Hearn and I have exchanged emails," Parker's promoter David Higgins told reporters in Auckland about talks with Joshua's promoter.

"My message was Joe would fight Joshua next and Hearn's message was that Joshua would fight Parker next. It's now a question of the deal and money."

Higgins said if they were able to agree to a fight it would probably be next March or April.

He added he had also been in talks with Wilder's camp. The American knocked out Bermane Stiverne in New York last Saturday and then accused Joshua of 'dodging' a showdown.

"They have put a figure on the table. It wasn't enough," Higgins said. "If they put the right amount of money on the table we will go to America to fight Wilder."

British media have reported that Joshua had indicated he would like to fight Wilder by the middle of 2018.

Parker's trainer, Kevin Barry, said he was keen to get the 25-year-old in the ring as soon as possible against the Briton.

If the Joshua bout did not come off then Parker could fight unbeaten Australian Lucas Browne instead, Higgins said.

"We have been in talks for a few weeks with his promoters," Higgins added. "There is no deal. We have loosely agreed terms and principles ... and it is possible if we decide it is the best option."

Barry said Parker would now enter a training camp in Auckland before heading back to Las Vegas in mid-January.
