Joseph Parker call for thrilling three-fight series against Oleksandr Usyk to take place on undercard of Usyk vs Daniel Dubois 2 rematch event.
Boldly Calling for a Third Battle: Joseph Parker Eyes Derek Chisora
The heavyweight division is brimming with anticipation as Joseph Parker, the current WBO interim champion, is anxiously awaiting his shot at the title, which hangs in the balance following Oleksandr Usyk's rematch with Daniel Dubois on July 19th.
With all eyes on Wembley Stadium this summer, Parker has already proven himself this year, delivering a brutal knockout to Martin Bakole in February. With Frank Warren geared up to keep him active, a third encounter with Derek Chisora could be on the horizon.
Parker believes that a rematch with Chisora would serve as the perfect interim bout. Speaking to The Ring, the 33-year-old stated, "I'd like to be out ASAP. I know Usyk and Dubois are fighting on July 19, I'd like to either fight not long after that, or it'd be great if I could be on the same card."
Chisora, currently eyeing his 50th fight, has shown a keen interest in facing Parker once again, given their previous battles in 2021. Despite two losses, Chisora's tenacious spirit and following make him an appealing opponent for Parker.
Parker's ultimate goal, however, lies with securing a world title fight, preferably against the victor of Usyk and Dubois. HisSlot as the number one WBO contender positions him favorably in the rankings, with impressive wins against Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang to his name.
Should Chisora secure an IBF title shot before a trilogy can materialize, alternatives such as a rematch with Dillian Whyte or a bout with Fabio Wardley are also under consideration. The heavyweight division is ripe with potential, and Parker's eagerness to stay active ensures a thrilling upcoming season.
Sports enthusiasts are eager to witness more boxing action as Joseph Parker, the WBO interim heavyweight champion, plans for a third bout against Derek Chisora. Having demonstrated his prowess this year with a knockout win against Martin Bakole, Parker aims to either fight soon after the Usyk-Dubois rematch on July 19th or share the same card.
