British heavyweight Dillian Whyte (28-3, 19 KOs) has verbally agreed to a rematch with New Zealand ex-world champion Joseph Parker (30-2, 21 KOs). A month ago, we recall, White flew in a knockout in the 6th round of WBC champion Tyson Fury.
Dillian and Joe first met in 2018: White won by unanimous decision, both falling down. Those tough guys!
Responding to the New Zealander’s recent challenge for a rematch, the Briton tweeted: “I just want the biggest fight at this stage of my career. Hit you again.”
Parker’s promoter Dave Higgins in the commentary
Sky Sports stated that this is the perfect time for his fighter and Whyte to take revenge.
“Parker is an elite heavyweight and he has unfinished business with White, so stopping White on worldwide TV would be a good step towards a title shot. Anytime, anywhere. But is Dillian ready for this?” asks a member of Parker’s team.
Higgins wants White to give a more serious signal that he is actually ready to fight his client.
Parker targets Usyk-Joshua 2 winner, Fury and Joyce mentioned
Yesterday it became known that the tough confrontation between Parker and Joe Joyce (13-0, 12 KOs), scheduled for July 2, will not take place due to the unavailability of coach Joe.
Recall that in 2021 Parker had two fights in a row with the British gatekeeper Derek Chisora - he won the first controversially, and the second confidently, sending the slugger to the canvas several times.
