    What a cracker tomorrow night. Think the bookies have it right with them unable to be split with the odds. Both have only ever lost to Joshua and both are after a rematch.

    I think I give the slight edge to Parker. White got stopped by an inexperienced AJ. Parker is the only guy to take a far more experienced Joshua to points and won't want to lose twice in a row over here.

    Whyte was a inexperienced when he lost also. He looks much improved since, and seems to be taking the sport a lot more seriously now.

    It’s a tough one to call, and hopefully should be a good fight.

    Whyte certainly looked more dangerous against Joshua, but Joshua was more experienced when he fought Parker.

    That's the spirit getting behind the Englishman :D Parker comes across as more likeable. He got six million quid but it was still brave of him to come over here and face Joshua. After a defeat it would have been easy for him to take easier fights back home, but he's come back here at pretty short notice (signed early June). He earned a lot of respect for taking Joshua the distance and with British boxing fans he's probably a bit of a honoury Brit now. It wouldn't be a shock to see the 02 crowd split pretty 50/50 with support.

    I wasn't impressed with Parker against Hughie Fury or AJ. I expected this warrior-like New Zealander but he seemed more concerned with getting through 12 rather than trying to win the fights. Really nice bloke to listen to though and clearly talented, just like to see him get into a brawl more.

    Dillian gets better each time I see him, he's exciting to watch and learning all the time. He can bang as well. I think I favour him slightly in this one. I love his persona too. Never going to be boring.

    i make it a 50/50 fight and the bookies can’t really seperate them either. Whyte has grown on me, i thought he was a proper **** when he first face Joshua and also against Delboy. Parker is a proper likeable guy, down to earth and doesn’t get involved in any slagging matches.
    method of victory, Whyte knock out before round 6 or Parker to win on points.

    Close fight so far at the half way stage. Parker headbutted and the commentators make a big deal of him being knocked down for the first time in his career.
