I'm not saying Parker is Aflac. But, he is definitely looking and quacking like a duck here. Disappointing all around.

Joseph Parker knew another defeat was on the cards the Australian chicken! Quack quack!

That’s weird to pull out of a fight with an illness so far in advance unless its very serious or it’s some kind of business decision.

Yeah, it only takes a few days to get over the flu or something.

Sounds like a BS excuse to me. Maybe he and Chisora figure they can get more money if they main event on another date.

Hopefully a decent replacement can be found theres still a few weeks left so hopefully somrthing can be done.

Fk it....bring over Big Baby, he needs to prove himself again. Let Del Boy knock his ass out.

If not, Price is looking for an opponent...that would be a decent win if Price could pull it off, which is doubtful.

Parker must be the hardest guy to support . One let down after another

Was looking forward to chisora giving him a tonking

Crap for th3 boxing fan, but very funny on Chisora. What's loud mouth gonna say now?

Unless it's something far more serious than man-flu, this is just an excuse and Parker will have something else lined up a few weeks further down the line. Ruiz-Joshua undercard, or Whyte rematch maybe?

Step up Big Davey Price!!

My first thought too and I wouldn't be totally against it.

The debate is over as to whether Derek Chisora's heavyweight clash with Joseph Parker is more significant than the evening's main event.

There was no debate to begin with, two washed-up heavyweights fighting to stay relevant to the top level was never going to be more significant than a unification match and WBSS final between two of the most talented young fighters around, no matter how many tantrums Chisora throws. Honestly I'd be fine with Chisora's attention-seeking ass being off the card entirely now.
