Parker withdraws, Chisora seeks new opponent

Joseph Parker has withdrawn from his upcoming fight with Brit boxer Dereck Chisora due to illness.

It is believed that Parker has been too ill to train this week after suffering a spider bite.

Promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed the news via social media noting that he is working on a suitable replacement for Chisora.

The fight was set for October 26 at London's O2 Arena.
