Joseph Parker will return to David Haye's gym for the final two weeks of his preparation for his upcoming bout against Dillian Whyte.

The Kiwi and the Brit square off in London on July 29, with the winner in prime position to challenge either Anthony Joshua or Deontay Wilder in a future heavyweight title fight.

Parker trained at Haye's gym in the lead-up to his fight against Joshua earlier in the year, and his camp is grateful Haye allows them to use his facilities.

The decision to train with the recently retired Haye might enrage Whyte, as both boxers don't get along.

But it also appears that Haye will offer the 26-year-old some advice on how to stop his foe.

"Same as usual, Park Plaza, the Riverbank hotel, and as far as I know, he'll be using the same David Haye gym," Parker promoter David Higgins said about his training base.

"David seems to have been very good to us from our first fight up there. David's been very helpful, and we're very grateful.

"David has been very accommodating. I'm sure that he and Joseph will discuss tactics and stuff like that. The use of the facilities has been invaluable. They are private, hidden and quiet, and near the hotel."
