'Best call out ever' – Joseph Parker shoots hilarious music video as he demands Dillian Whyte rematch

01/04/2024 14:01

Joseph Parker has called his shot in the funniest way possible.

The former WBO heavyweight champion has recently revived his boxing career with back-to-back decision wins over top contenders Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang.

In any other year, it would've been enough to earn him a title shot but all four major belts are all tied up in Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury's undisputed bout, which is scheduled for May 18.

Anthony Joshua is waiting to face the winner, or potentially fight for the IBF belt that will become vacant if Usyk and Fury decide to trigger the rematch clause in their contracts.

With the three big-name heavyweights all busy, Parker has decided to call out Dillian Whyte, who beat him by unanimous decision when they clashed in July 2018.

On Monday morning, the New Zealander shared a 77-second video on social media and directed the caption at Whyte, it read: "I want you back for good Dillian Whyte. If not, I'm moving on."

The content of the clip is not what you'd expect from a boxer.

Parker is singing along to Take That's 1995 hit 'Back For Good' as he looks at pictures of his heavyweight rival and treats a bunch of his mates as backup singers.

Boxing fans loved Parker's unique and creative call out of Whyte.

One person commented: "Best call out ever!"

Another wrote: "That’s brilliant Joe, brilliant."

A third person tweeted: "Sensational! What a call-out!"

Someone else said: "I'm not sure there is a more likeable guy in the world of boxing than Joe Parker."

Whyte is yet to respond to Parker's hilarious call for a rematch.

'The Body Snatcher' is currently looking for a big-name opponent after recently returning to the ring for the first time since beating Jermaine Franklin in November 2022.

Whyte was supposed to rematch Joshua last August but their fight was cancelled due to a failed drugs test.

After being cleared to return to the ring, Whyte took a short-notice return fight against Christian Hammer and stopped him in three rounds in Ireland on St Patrick's Day.

Whyte will now look to put himself in title contention once again, and there isn't a better opponent to face to do that than Parker.
