Joseph Parker is seeking a big rematch in the heavyweight division, but surprisingly, it’s not against Anthony Joshua. Stay tuned as Parker aims for redemption against another top contender. Who could that be???? Let’s find out.
Joseph Parker has had an outstanding year in the boxing arena, marked by two significant victories in recent months. First, he triumphed over Deontay Wilder on the Day of Reckoning card in December, followed by a win against Zhilei Zhang in March. While many anticipated a rematch with Anthony Joshua, given Joshua’s successful year with wins over Francis Ngannou, Otto Wallin, Robert Helenius, and Jermaine Franklin, Parker surprised fans by setting his sights on a different opponent.
Instead of Joshua, Parker took to social media to call out Dillian Whyte, whom he previously fought in 2018. Despite Whyte securing victory in their previous encounter with a unanimous decision, Parker seems eager to avenge that loss as he pursues another shot at the world heavyweight title. Known for his humorous approach, Parker utilized a playful video inspired by Take That to grab Whyte’s attention.
Whyte, who recently returned to the ring in Ireland, stopped Christian Hammer after a prolonged absence due to an adverse finding in a drugs test ahead of his scheduled fight with Joshua last August. However, Whyte has since been cleared of any wrongdoing, with the failed test attributed to contamination. With both fighters eager to climb back to the top of the heavyweight division, a showdown between Parker and Whyte could be imminent.
