I think a rematch would be good a good development opportunity for Parker, he knows exactly what Chisora will bring, and will have no excuses if he doesn't win in a more convincing fashion around. Would be great on the Fury / Joshua card if it happens.

Yes - maybe
But I truly think they will now want to match Parker with Usyk for the WBO belt
Despite the Chisora result, this is still likely from all I have heard

If the $$ is right why not
be an easy fight to make... unless JP wants his name before Derecks... or wants to flip a coin to decide who walks out first etc

I had Parker winning by 2 rounds, Parker's got no chance of becoming 'world' champion again though. Chisora's a journeyman, he was blowing out of his arse after 3 minutes. For Parker to only win by split decision is a joke. In a weak division he's not even top10.

That said, it was a very watchable fight.

Journeyman? Nah, maybe a gatekeeper to the title. Gave Usyk, Whyte, and Parker all they could handle, and I thought he beat Parker. He's at the same level of opponents as Parker now. Would love to see how he'd do with Ruiz or Wilder, or maybe some of the younger fighters in the top ten trying to make a name.

I was impressed with Parkers conditioning, especially after all those body shots. Looked really good in the middle stages when letting his hands go. Great left hook catching Chisora coming in. I wasnt scoring the fight but felt Parker had to win the final round to get the win. Id love to see a rematch and think with another camp under Andy Lee we would see a more decisive win for Parker.

Yeah it was a sneaky left hook that was constantly halting Chisora coming in and worked well all fight. Thought it may swell the eye - but not enough just marked him up .
