A long-awaited blockbuster fight between the British heavyweight Derek Chisora and the former WBO champion Joseph Parker is on the horizon. We take a look at the key strengths and weaknesses of each of the two rivals. So, you can make a smart choice when deciding on your Chisora vs Parker betting predictions. The spectacular showdown between the two heavyweights will take place on 1 May at a venue yet to be determined. However, most likely Chisora and Parker will fight in the United Kingdom. As online sportsbook news sites in New Zealand have been reporting, the two fighters agreed to fight back in October 2019. But, due to Parker’s spider bite the fight was canceled. Hopefully, this time everything goes according to plan, and we finally see them walking into the ring. Derek Chisora and Joseph Parker were recently active. They had significant fights. Frankly, they did not fare very well. So, they need to come better this time and make some entertaining performances. As they say, styles make fights, and this one promises to be between a brawler and a boxer. According to Chisora vs Parker betting odds, the boxer Parker will likely have an edge if he comes at his best.

Chisora has been always the challenger that loses in the end

The British challenger Derek Chisora is now 37 years old. In other words, he is approaching the end of his career in boxing. His record is not that bright. He won 32 fights and lost 10, with 23 KOs. Chisora’s last fight was in October 2020 when he met with Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk. Chisora lost the fight as expected by online sportsbooks in New Zealand. The British heavyweight gave some trouble to Usyk, but the athleticism and movement of Usyk prevailed. This was actually the business as usual for Chisora as he previously lost fights to many elite heavyweights. As Chisora vs Parker betting odds make Chisora the underdog with 2.25 according to Bet365 Sportsbook, the scenario might be similar. He may give a tough time to Parker, but eventually, Chisora will make Paker enjoy a moment of glory when he beats his opponent out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giCEgUVk0g4&ab_channel=MatchroomBoxing

Parker is a good boxer and can survive knockdowns

The 29-year-old Kiwi heavyweight Joseph Parker is at his prime at least on paper. He holds a decent record of 28-2, with 21 KOs. After losing to both Joshua and Whyte, he has been trying to find a route back to a title shot. While he won all his fights after Joshua and Whyte, he was not explosive in his performances. His last fight was on 27 February against countryman Junior Fa. It ended with an unconvincing unanimous decision. It was an entertaining fight, but Parker had a lot of trouble and he failed to make a statement. Parker is a good boxer. He holds a significant reach advantage over Chisora. So, he is expected to jab and dictate the distance against Chisora. But he is also a big brawler and has good stamina. Against Whyte, Parker survived a knockdown to come back and almost knock out his opponent. So, if he shows his strength against Chisora, he will likely win with 1.57 odds.

The undercards at Chisora vs Parker betting preview

What makes Chisora vs Parker a big night is not only the anticipation surrounding the two heavyweights but also the exciting fights on the undercard. There is the undisputed world lightweight defense for Katie Taylor against the challenger Natasha Jonas. Besides, Chris Eubank Jr. will meet against Marcus Morrison in an all-British middleweight fight. Finally, Russia’s undefeated WBA light-heavyweight world champion Dmitry Bivol will defend his title against Craig Richards.
