Joseph Parker predicted to batter Dillian Whyte in London fight
Dillian Whyte will have his work cut out for him against New Zealand heavyweight Joseph Parker.
Joseph Parker will batter Dillian Whyte in their heavyweight clash in London in July.
That's the bold prediction from Whyte's fierce UK rival Dereck Chisora who will appear on the undercard.
"He's going to get battered," Chisora responded when asked by Sky Sports in Britain about Whyte's chance against Parker.
Dereck Chisora says his UK rival Dillian Whyte is in for a hard time against Joseph Parker.
"Joseph is very fast. It will be a good fight, anyway."
Dillian Whyte and Joseph Parker put their reputations and records on the line in London in late July.
Chisora was hardly going to talk up Whyte given the bad blood between the two.
They had a ding-dong battle over 12 brutal rounds in Manchester in 2016 that Whyte won via a controversial split decision.
The leadup was as heated as the actual fight, with Chisora throwing a table at Whyte in the final press conference.
Chisora rocked Whyte several times in the ring but couldn't finish him off.
Chisora's career has spiralled since then while Whyte has steadily built himself to be one of the main players in the heavyweight division and is on the cusp of a title fight, a position he is risking with this fight against Parker.
Parker is on the comeback following the first loss of his career, a points decision at the hands of Anthony Joshua who added the Kiwi's WBO title to his bulging collection of championship belts.
Parker was the first fighter to go the distance with Joshua and is a favourite with the New Zealand TAB to beat Whyte.
They have Parker at $1.70 to win with Whyte at $2.05.
Despite both fighters having heavy hands, the Kiwi bookies have a points victory to Parker as the favoured option at $2.40. Whyte is paying $3.25 for a points win.
Whyte has the edge in power in the eyes of the TAB, paying $4.50 to be the first boxer to KO Parker.
Parker is paying $5 for a knockout victory, a method that has eluded him in his last four fights.
Chisora fights France's Carlos Takam on an increasingly good undercard.
Kell Brook clashes with Brandon Cook in a world super-lightweight title eliminator, Katie Taylor defends her WBA and IBF world lightweight titles against Kimberly Connor, and Conor Benn and Cedric Peynaud are set for a rematch after their fight of the year brawl in 2017.
