Surging Kiwi heavyweight Joseph Parker has returned to his trademark theatrics to issue a callout to Brit Dillian Whyte.
Parker was expected to lock horns again with Zhilei Zhang again, after his win over the Chinese fighter last month due to a rematch clause written into the original fight contract.
But reports are swirling Zhang may employ the right of refusal in favour of a monster pay day in Saudi Arabia against American Deontay Wilder.
Now Parker has turned his attention back to Whyte for a potential rematch. The pair fought in London back in 2018, when Whyte earned a unanimous decision win.
On Monday, the South Aucklander took to social media to produce another of the musicals he made his calling card during COVID-19, laying down the gauntlet to Whyte with a lip-synced rendition of Take That's 1995 hit Back for Good.
The video included highlights of their hard-fought bout at the O2 Arena, which was Parker's first bout after his world title tilt against Anthony Joshua.
He included the caption: "I want you back for good Dillian Whyte. If not, I'm moving on."
Whyte has also expressed interest in a rematch with Parker.
"It's funny because Parker has beaten both of them [Zhang and Wilder] back-to-back, and I've beaten Parker," Whyte told IFL TV.
"It'd be good to look at a rematch down the line."
Both veteran fighters' stocks are on the up. Parker is riding a five-fight win streak, including his career highlight whitewash of Wilder in Saudi Arabia, while Whyte has won two straight since losing to Tyson Fury in April 2022.
