    ...a day after Kevin Barry was complaining that Dereck was a bit rough. Parker doesn't want any of that Delboy smoke.

    Due to illness, apparently.

    Some illness with the fight being just under 4 weeks away, Parker has no heart.

    Hopefully it's nothing serious, but pulling out of a fight with an illness 4 weeks before is worrying

    In all seriousness, an illness 4 weeks before the fight is always a worry. An injury is understandable but always fear the worst if it is long term illness.

    That’s a shame, would’ve been a good scrap. However, if it is an illness as stated then the main thing is Parker’s health. Whatever it is, hope he can make a full recovery.

    Lol.... Parker would easily coast to a decision against Delboy and everyone you included whine about how it was the most boring fight ever.

    Parker will come back faster, stronger and with his senses honed.

    Wow, would be a hell of a fight and THE test for Hunter, if he beats Chisora convincingly this could put him in the contention for the big fights

    People like you are the reason that fighters put pride in front of their safety.

    1. Would you like him to fight ill prepared? What happens if he was then hurt?
    "His trainer should never have put him in"

    2. Fight and have the excuse that he lost because he wasn't 100%?
    "We wasted our money by not getting a fair fight!"

    "Parker has no heart" - If that doesn't scream 'I've never boxed a minute in my life' I don't know what does.

    Apparently bitten by a spider, they have black widows in Las Vegas and their bites can take you out for a week (well weaker folks can get killed by them) so yeah... not something you can plan for, and definitely not something like "has no heart" is anything to do with. He's unlucky and not an idiot.

    I feel really sorry for him, he'd be gutted about this - potentially loses the opportunity to shut Chisora up and now Chisora and casual UK fans are going to be going on like the person who started this thread.
