Dillian Whyte will face Joseph Parker in a heavyweight clash at the O2 Arena in London on July 28.

Both fighters have just one defeat on their records, against world champion Anthony Joshua.

Whyte lost to his British rival in a seventh-round stoppage in December 2015, while New Zealander Parker's WBO reign was ended by a points loss to Joshua in a unification clash in March.

"There's going to be blood, pain and a knockout. I'm bang up for this," Whyte told Sky Sports after the fight was announced.
