What did they say?
"I'm excited but not as excited." Chisora said, "I'm excited for the fight, but may be disappointed by what comes with it."
"I will speak with my management company. Because I've been robbed so many times, we need an American referee.
It's one of those things that can be frustrating, but it is one of them. Joseph Parker doesn't scare me. He has nothing that I am afraid of. He doesn't have power punches. I don't know how they did it last fight."
Parkeradded : "I watched the fight back, and I thought that I won, he thought that he won. That's why we are doing it again," Parker said, who has suffered two losses in 31 fights against Dillian Whyte and Joshua.
"Derek is a strong guy. He comes forward, puts pressure on you, bites his gumshield, and tosses the kitchen sink at it.
"It is my goal to become a two-time world champion in heavyweight boxing and I am well placed in the rankings, so you need to seize the opportunity when it comes."
