Chisora and Parker Quickly Agree to Trilogy Fight in the Locker Room

On February 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, WBO interim heavyweight champion Joseph Parker (36-3, 24 KOs) knocked out Martin Bakole (21-2, 16 KOs) in the second round.

After the fight, British heavyweight Derek Chisora (36-13, 23 KOs) visited Parker’s locker room to congratulate the New Zealander on his victory. During their conversation, the two fighters wasted no time in agreeing to a third bout.

– Who’s next for you? – Parker asked.

– You, – Chisora replied.

– Me?

– Yeah. You want to do it?

– Tottenham Stadium. Let’s go, yeah, – Parker suggested.

– Okay. Cool, – Chisora agreed.

Chisora and Parker have already fought twice in Manchester in 2021. Parker won both encounters—first by a split decision in May and then by a unanimous decision in December.
