“Everyone says Fury is the best of our generation and he’s the favourite to win, but anything can happen in heavyweight boxing and I back myself against any fighter, no matter who it is. As a standby fighter, it’s good to have someone who would give it a go and wouldn’t be scared to throw punches, and that would be me.”
Having fought – and lost to – Whyte himself in 2018, at the very least Parker has been able to pass on the experience of having faced the Body Snatcher in the ring. He is aware of what Whyte is capable of and has a lot of respect for him as a fighter, but still cannot see any other result than a Fury knockout at the end of a competitive bout.
Parked concluded: “I see it being a very competitive fight in the beginning. Dillian’s a tough fighter, he comes game, strong and ready. I see him putting up a good fight, but Tyson’s size, reach and pace will be too much for him, and I think Fury’s going to knock him out midway through the fight.”
