Love the fight but I'd prefer them both to get a nice long camp to see the best version of both.

Hopefully both camps have been in training for a few weeks already while the money men finalized the contracts.

Should be a good fight if both fighters are in tiptop shape physically and fired up mentally. but if either man (Chisora mainly) comes in less than 100% it could be a tedious affair.

The time from fight being announced to fight night isn't necessarily the total training camp time at all

I doubt either wanted 4 months like Whyte did for an AJ rematch though

The mouth-watering heavyweight clash between Joseph Parker and Dereck Chisora is under threat as the New Zealander's management team has not been able to get a commitment around drugs testing.

The fight is slated to take place on October 26 at London's O2 Arena and is being talked about as one of the biggest heavyweight fights of the year.

However, Parker's manager David Higgins today dropped a bombshell, saying that the fight was off unless they could get Chisora to commit to Wada-sanctioned blood and urine testing anywhere in the world up to and immediately following the fight.

"We've received a formal offer to fight Dereck Chisora on October 26. We have accepted on the condition that two clauses are inserted into the contract," Higgins told the Herald. "One is that Joseph's fight will be no earlier than the penultimate fight on the card, and the other is the drug-testing protocols."

"Under the circumstances of those conditions not being met, unfortunately we will have to pull out of the fight," Higgins said.

To make the fight happen, Parker has put ego aside and ceded A-side to Chisora, meaning the Brit will get preference over the dressing room and will walk to the ring second.
