    How are we seeing the Whyte v Parker fight on Saturday? Whyte wins for me, but hopefully it’s a good fight.
    On the undercard I’m really surprised to see Benn taking on the rematch with Peynaud. What has got to gain by fighting him again. These intercontinental belts or whatever it is they’re fighting for are meaningless really.

    United we stand here....

    Parker being talked up over here (not surprising) as having found a 'mean streak' and best training camp ever etc. The usual stuff I suppose, but he'll have learned a lot from the Joshua fight and I think we'll see a slightly different approach here.

    The guy has basically never even been in trouble in the ring, so he'll be no easy beat. I think Parker wins.

    From watching the build up I really think that Whyte has got under his skin and he might fight a fight that he doesn’t really want to fight. Whyte has been really disrespectful to Parker, calling him a coward for the way he fought AJ. It’s a tough one to call as Parker is clearly a durable fighter and Whyte is more of a slug fest type of fighter. I suspect Parker is going to try and go toe to toe with Whyte which is why I fancy Whyte to win it.

    I think you might be surprised at Parker's ability to go toe-to-toe. We haven't seen much of it over the last 2 years or so as the quality of his opponents has increased, so he's had less chances to really get into a brawl, but if Whyte wants to do that, I see it suiting Parker. Not saying that doesn't suit Whyte either though, as I can see that's the kind of fight he also likes!

    Despite Parker's tactics against Joshua, that's not really what he's been all about in the earlier days of his career when he was knocking out everyone he faced.

    Will be a close one but I think Parker edges it for me. I see him as a better quality fighter.

    Parker for me. Better boxer, but in a slugfest either could catch a beauty on the chin and spark out. Parker in rounds 11-12

    Fair play to Connor Benn for taking that rematch. Decent performance from him.

    If it goes the distance I think Parker will win. I’ve been wrong before though

    That was a good moment. He’s such a likeable guy, I loved his interview after the fight. It would be great if he was to win a title.

    I’m just not convinced by Parker. Just watched his interview there and he doesn’t act like a fighter that’s confident.

    And second. It’s never going to be one for the purists, but I don’t care, it’s good to watch.

    Chisora is a nut case. To sit and take that punishment as a tactic is insane, but he did it.

    Eddie Hearn is great for boxing. Wants to make big fights for big money. It probably is box office, but a tenner rather than £20.

    Delighted for Chisora. He’s had to take some **** over the years, some of it deserved, but he’s taken the big fights when they have been offered and he’s won some and lost some.

    Underneath the persona I always think he seems a decent guy and I hope he gets one more shot at the really big time.

    He said he’d like a shot at the winner of the main event. He’s dreaming but if he can get another win then he’ll be in about it. His problem is he never puts a few wins together at a good level

    I think most of the **** has been deserved and at times he’s been totally out of control. As you say though underneath I think he’s a decent family man. Thankfully for him he seems to have finally got his **** together. I just wonder if it might be too late for him though.
