Joseph Parker has fought both Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder.

The heavyweight has distinctive insight into the pair and he believes Chisora is the stronger of the two.

He said: “I would say Chisora was the strongest. He is always on your chest and doesn’t leave you alone. All those little clubbing shots to the body and the head don’t look like much, but they all hurt and they all add up.

“He is a nightmare to deal with in the ring and outside of the ring.” Despite suffering a comprehensive loss to Parker, Wilder harboured no ill will towards his opponent. The American said: “He texted me and people don’t know that me and Parker have a relationship, he texts me.

“He told me thank you for the opportunity for the fight, what a great fight and I told him congratulations bro, I hope you enjoy the win with your family. We never had no beef with each other.

“We knew each other before all of this stuff, he’s such a nice man, he’s such a nice person. If I would lose coming back to somebody it would be him 10 times over, a thousand times over because he’s just such a nice guy.”
