Joseph Parker v Dereck Chisora eyed as headline act for big London fight night

The Kiwi heavyweight's clash with the rugged Chisora is "very much in play" for April 20 at the O2 Arena in the British capital, according to British promoter Eddie Hearn.

Originally it was suggested as an undercard fight for a night to be headlined by Dillian Whyte, the last fighter to beat Parker who subsequently knocked out Chisora.

But Whyte has been ordered to fight American Dominic Breazeale for the WBC's interim title, a fight that would put the winner in the prime position to the the mandatory challenger for the winner of the Deontay Wilder v Tyson Fury rematch.
