Hopefully he's stayed in shape and can come into this fight better prepared for Chisora. The Dillian Whyte fight should have provided a good learning experience around dealing with pressure fighters who use all the tricks.
I don't see his #5 ranking: https://fightnews.com/rankings-2. He's #11 in two alphabets. This fight wouldn't help Parker's ranking, but it would do wonders for his boxing skills. Parker gonna fight dirty against Chisora, the king of dirt? Hahaha.
I took it from here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_boxing_rankings#Heavyweight
After getting ko'd by Whyte, I can't see him ranked that high. After giving it some thought, Parker should go after the one's that Whyte doesn't want, either Breazeale or Povetkin instead of Chisora.
