Dillian Whyte warns Joseph Parker: ‘My prediction is pain. Pure pain’

Dillian Whyte

DILLIAN WHYTE and Joseph Parker came face-to-face today at the final press conference ahead of their heavyweight clash on Saturday (July 28) at the O2 Arena in London.

The hostility between the two fighters was not overt but they promised an explosive collision when they meet this weekend.

โ€œWhatever he comes with Iโ€™ll be ready for it. Wherever he wants, Iโ€™ll be there. If he wants it long, rangy, if he wants it short, Iโ€™m good,โ€ Whyte declared. โ€œIโ€™m ready to rock. Whatever they want.”

โ€œIf they want it, they can have it,โ€ he concluded. “My prediction is pain. Pure pain.”

โ€œIโ€™m in great shape, thereโ€™s no excuses here,โ€ said Joseph Parker. โ€œIโ€™m here to do damage. Iโ€™m here to punch with bad intentions. Iโ€™m going to break him down.โ€

โ€œHeโ€™s going to take a lot of punches,โ€ he continued. โ€œI think some time smack talk is a sign of doubt. He needs to convince himself.

โ€œHe thinks I canโ€™t go to war. Wait and see.โ€

Parkerโ€™s promoter David Higgins warned, โ€œJoseph Parker has to fight Dillian Whyte and the officials.โ€

He added, โ€œBut guess what, I think heโ€™s going to do it and I think heโ€™s going to finish Dillian by knockout in round seven.โ€

Kevin Barry, Parkerโ€™s trainer, is expecting aggression from Whyte. โ€œHeโ€™s going to be in our face,โ€ Barry said. โ€œI think this fight ends by knockout. I donโ€™t see it going 12 rounds.โ€

โ€œDillian Whyte is going to take Joseph Parker to a level heโ€™s never felt before,โ€ Mark Tibbs, Whyteโ€™s trainer responded. โ€œWeโ€™re going to box-fight our way to a victory and itโ€™s going to be a brutal victory.

โ€œIf he doesnโ€™t come and bring, weโ€™ll walk him down and stalk him down.โ€
