Boxing: Joseph Parker Promises Complete Assault, Dillian Whyte Promises Pain

Joseph Parker made a powerful statement about wanting to hurt Dillian Whyte with a relentless early attack in their heavyweight fight in London on Sunday.

At the official press conference of combat, sometimes intense and sometimes More than 100 journalists gathered at the hotel Canary Wharf, and Parker spoke with confidence and directly while his opponent sat on the table of High looked at him and listened attentively

. Whyte patted Parker's face lightly with a gloved hand of his right hand in what appeared to be a condescending gesture, but in parting, Whyte accepted Parker's handshake offer

"Before I came in brawl and I used to say "I hope I can catch him and make a knockout", but there is not any. hope for me here, "Parker said. "I'm here to do damage, I'm here to hit with bad intentions, I'm going to demolish it."

"My opponent talked a lot and I think sometimes the slam is a sign of doubt, it's a sign that he's trying to convince himself and others that 39, he is ready for this big challenge.I hope he's ready to take a lot of shots because i'm going to give it really bad. "

There was very little conversation from the # 39 Whyte, whose "mental stability" was joked by promoter David Higgins at the beginning of There was no repetition of "cowardly" insults made by Whyte for what he saw as the Parker's reluctance to do everything he could to beat Anthony Joshua in their fight for the world unification title in April.

Mark Tibbs, coach of Whyte to rephrase these claims when he said, "He made all the promises on what he was going to do and what he was not going to do [before Joshua fight] He pulled the wool over the eyes of the fighting fans and he never delivered.I felt myself lowered. "

Tibbs added," We respect the pedigree of Joseph and we know where he's coming from and what he's done but Dillian is going to take Joseph to the depths that he's never felt before. "

The best hope of Whyte's victory is stopping, so Tibbs seemed to do his best to entice Parker to engage in what the New Zealander termed "war."

And Parker, 26 , said he would be happy to provide one in his fight back from his first professional loss. Another loss would have greatly reduced his career.

"Bring it," said Parker. "He thinks I can not go to war Wait and see."

Whyte, who seemed relaxed and calm but perhaps less confident than Parker, said, "I've been in the game long enough to know that talking and doing things are different things. Let's see everything that comes I'm ready for it

"He has been here many times but nobody has hurt him yet and I want to be the first to hurt him. The prediction is pain, pure pain. "

Higgins, frank as usual beside Hearn, tried to warn the judges saying that Parker had to fight Whyte plus the officials, and later confirmed that he had already received a victory, the Canadian judge, the choice of the sanctioning body of the WBC, has withdrawn from the fight.

Judge Parker was inactive for too long and he was replaced by the French Christophe Fernandez , who will join Phil Austin, an Australian-based official, and Steve Gray from the UK "Luckily, common sense prevailed," said Higgins

Later, in an interview with New Zealand media, Parker expressed surprise at the lack of verbal attack from his opponent, thought that there was going to be more trashy speech.This was pretty tame from him.I think that & # 39; 39; he suggests that he takes this challenge seriously. "

Parker confirmed that it would be to freely swap blows with Whyte, but suggested that his strategy would be more subtle than that. "I will box smart because that's what has"

"I think some people think that I have a style that spoils, I want to prove that I can fight at the top.

The fight at the sold-out O2 Arena will be broadcast live on Sky Sports pay per view starting at 5am on Sunday NZT.
