British boxer Dereck Chisora is very confident that he would do a number on WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker (22-0, 18 KOs).
Parker will make a mandatory defense of his title against England's Hughie Fury in Auckland on May 6.
Parker captured the vacant belt last December, with a close points decision over Andy Ruiz. The belt became vacant when Hughie's cousin, Tyson Fury, dropped all of his world titles to focus on his mental health issues.
Chisora, who fought the likes of Tyson Fury (twice), Vitali Klitschko, David Haye and Kubrat Pulev, believes Parker has done nothing to be viewed as a top fighter in the division.
"He's boxed nobodies, taxi drivers, bus drivers in New Zealand. He hasn't proven himself," Chisora said to Fairfax Media. "He has to prove himself. He's got to come out of the jungle he's been living in down there, far away from the world and come and live down on this side. Prove yourself."
On May 27th, Chisora (26-7, 18 KOs) will have a rematch with Robert Helenius in Helsinki.
In his last bout, which took place in December, Chisora lost a close twelve round split decision in a "Fight of The Year" candidate with Dillian Whyte.
If Chisora and Parker both win, the British slugger is willing to fight for the right price.
"It's about money. For me, I don't care about the titles. It's about the greens. It's about the dollar, show me the money. He can keep the title and I will keep the money, yeah, if the money was right," Chisora said.
"Don't come to Europe because I will beat you up. That's it, that's the advice I can give him because there's more tougher fighters in Europe right now than anywhere else in the world."
