On October 26th at the O2 Arena in London, Derek Chisora will be targeting another explosive victory in his showdown with New Zealand's Parker, a former WBO heavyweight world champion, as two exciting contenders collide in the Capital.
‘WAR’ Chisora is back at the scene of last month's dramatic knockout triumph over Poland’s Artur Szpilka while Parker returns to Britain after back-to-back stoppages of Alexander Flores and Alex Leapai.
Their bout will be the co-feature to the World Boxing Super Series final between junior welterweight champions Regis Prograis and Josh Taylor.
Chisora has promised to finish Parker once and for all, although he may be getting confused with his country of origin. Parker is from New Zealand, but Chisora has tagged him as an Australian.
"I’ve wanted this fight over a year now, Parker the Ozzie kangaroo fled for the bush once already this year, complaining he didn’t have enough time to prepare," said Chisora.
"I’ve now given him all the time he needed. I’m a real fighter, I’m always ready to go to WAR. Szpilka felt what Derek WAR Chisora is all about, and he was my friend, and trust me that was just 30% of what I’ve got ready for that Aussie bum.
"I’m gonna to do what Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz both couldn’t do, I’m gonna knock Parker’s dingo ass clean out, and send this Aussie chump back to the other side of the planet, where he belongs."
Parker has other ideas.
“Chisora will come with experience and he will come with pressure,” said Parker. “He’s coming off two good wins, so he’ll be full on confidence and out to make a statement. As always, I back myself against any fighter on this planet and I’m expecting an exciting war on October 26.
“I’ve always had a lot of love and support from my UK fans and I can’t wait for my return. A win here takes me another step towards targeting the other top names in the division and becoming a two-time world champion.”
