Derek Chisora returns to the ring this weekend as he takes on Joseph Parker in the heavyweight main event of a stacked card in Manchester on Saturday.
The two rivals were originally supposed to fight in London in October 2019, only for New Zealander Parker to withdraw three-and-a-half weeks out due to illness - believed to be the result of a spider bite suffered in Las Vegas.
This is Chisora's first fight since he lost to Oleksandr Usyk in London last October.

Chisora vs Parker predictions and betting odds
It will be interesting to see what improvements Parker has made working under Andy Lee, having been pointed in the direction of the former middleweight champion by Tyson Fury following his split from long-time trainer Kevin Barry.

A defeat here would surely spell the end of Parker's hopes of returning to world level and there is also the added pressure of this being the last bout on his three-fight deal with Matchroom.
The battle-hardened Chisora should never, ever be underestimated and 'Del Boy' is well capable of striking a key blow to Parker's ambitions in Manchester.
Derek Chisora is 15/8 to win, with Joseph Parker priced at 4/7 to come away with the victory. A draw is priced at 20/1.
