At the O2 on 28th July
Whyte
Whyte says beating New Zealand's Joseph Parker should "guarantee" him a world title fight.
"There's a massive incentive for me to wipe him out and show the world that I am ready to be the top man in the division,".
"I want a world title and I know I can beat Wilder and Joshua."
"There's going to be blood, pain and a knockout,"
Parker
"We've both been in with AJ, one of us ended the fight on our feet, the other didn't. That pretty much speaks for itself."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hard to call really, don't think Parker lasting longer vs AJ has any bearing, they were both different fights. Whyte certainly went for it more, as I expect he will against Parker too.
I would actually go with Whyte to win by stoppage, but a Parker points win wouldn't surprise me.

Don’t see the hype with Parker.
Didn’t really do a great deal against Joshua. Extremely close fight with Hughie Fury. Only just won his vacant title against an average fighter and retained in a close fight afterward.
If Whyte is serious about beating the AJ’s and Wilders of the division, he should be winning this fight.

Props to both of them for taking this fight, was surprised but pleased to hear it announced. This has the makings of a really competitive fight, at this stage I’d go with Parker on points.

Sort of a fight neither can really afford to lose after getting beat by AJ, long road back for the loser.

Great match up, I think Whyte is the better fighter and will get the win, definitely seems hungrier and tougher mentally.

this is possibly the most exciting fight since AJ vs vlad in terms of 'who knows'
I reckon Whyte wins - late stoppage but I really wouldn't be surprised if Parker wins it... or, if it went to points and either or.... truly interesting is this one
