Joseph Parker believes that Tyson Fury ‘has too much’ for Dillian Whyte when the pair meet later this month.
Whyte challenges Fury for his WBC belt at Wembley Stadium on April 23, and the current champion has been training with Joseph Parker for several months as the pair prepare for their next respective fights.
For Fury that is his WBC mandatory Whyte, while Parker has been linked with Joe Joyce.
Joyce fought Whyte back in 2018, losing to the Briton four months after he had lost his WBO strap to Anthony Joshua.
Parker has bounced back with six consecutive wins as he looks for another shot at a title, though he has previously said he would not take on his friend Fury.
Speaking to Frank Warren TV, Parker gave his prediction, saying: “I feel [Fury] has too much for Whyte – size-wise, power-wise, strength.
“He can move, he can fight, and so I think he’s gonna get Whyte out of there in the first six rounds.
“Dillian’s got a very strong counter left hook. I got caught with it once and it put me down, so [Fury] has to be wary of that.
“But I think Tyson, overall, is too smart.”
