Joseph Parker (30-2, 21 KOs) defeated four years ago Dillian Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs), although during the fight he was on the verge of a knockout. Despite this, the New Zealander does not give the British a special chance in confrontation with Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) for the WBC heavyweight belt on April 23.
The New Zealander, a former WBO champion, is friends with the reigning WBC champion outside the ring. But Parker also has the right to compare these two boxers, because in addition to good relations with Fury, they often stand in pairs with each other, helping each other to prepare for the next fights. So it was this time, Parker spent several rounds of sparring with Fury.
The fight will take place on April 23 at Wembley Stadium. The stands will be filled to capacity - the presence of 94 thousand fans is expected.
“Tyson is too good for White. He is too big for him, too strong, too tough and, above all, too smart in the ring. Of course, White hits hard with left hooks and left uppercuts, so Tyson has to be careful. But he is the only one who is smart enough to move in the ring and deal with White. In my opinion, he will win ahead of schedule by the end of the sixth round, ”Parker is sure.
