Dereck Chisora and Joseph Parker are due to face off in what is an eagerly anticipated fight for the boxing fanatics.

Eddie Hearn and his Matchroom Boxing promotion are prepared for a stacked fight card in Manchester in what promises to be an enthralling night of boxing as we head into the summer months.

The main event will see heavyweight bruisers Chisora and Parker face off against each other - in a fight that was in the making since 2019. Sadly, the New Zealander was forced to pull out from the bout due to a spider bite.

That being said, Parker has won his last four fights in a row on the back of his defeat to Dillian Whyte via unanimous decision in 2018. Chisora has fought at the highest level and has never been afraid to duck away from a big fight, losing most recently to rising Ukrainian star Oleksandr Usyk, also via unanimous decision.

With the time until the bell rings drawing ever closer, here is everything that we know about this fight night so far...

Hearn recently admitted that this was the “best card” he has ever put on. Two fights on the card are yet to be officially confirmed with fighters currently without opponents.
