PRIMED FOR WAR
Derek Chisora will bid to get back in the win column in his clash with former WBO champ Joseph Parker following defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last November.
And the former world title challenger appears to have dropped a few pounds ahead of Saturday’s showdown.
GETTING COSY AT BREAKFAST
Joseph Parker and Derek Chisora enjoyed a bizarre breakfast with Spiderman on Thursday morning.
But something tells me their meeting this afternoon won’t be as cordial.
DEL OF A FIGHT
Derek Chisora faces Joseph Parker on Saturday night in a huge fight night in Manchester, and we’ll be bringing you all of the updates starting from TODAY’S weigh in at 1pm right here.
The pair were originally set to do battle in 2019 but a SPIDER bite ruled out Parker.
Katie Taylor vs Natasha Jonas is the chief support on a stacked undercard which includes Chris Eubank Jr and Campbell Hatton both in action too.
Chisora and Parker have enjoyed a jovial fight week, even sharing breakfast together this week.
Though Chisora has been far from enthusiastic about Parker’s last fight, when he beat Junior Fa in his native New Zealand in February.
Chisora said: “If I had boxed for the title he won in New Zealand, I would have won it as well.
“There’s not much really happening in New Zealand.
“If that fight was on a different continent he’d have lost it because when Ruiz was bringing the heat on and pushing the fight… it went Joe’s way because it was his show.
“But really and truly I’ve got respect for Joe and I don’t have anything bad to say about Joe because he hasn’t done anything bad in the sport.
“He has been given fights and he has fought those fights.”
