Exclusive: Chisora will look to hit Parker all over his body as the two boxers go head to head

Derek Chisora’s trainer Buddy McGirt has warned Joseph Parker to expect a ‘war’ when the two heavyweights meet this weekend.

And McGirt revealed he has been teaching Chisora some new tactics – including telling the veteran boxer to hit his opponenet all over the body, from the hip to the thigh.

Chisora and Parker take to the ring on Saturday 1 May at Manchester Arena as the two fighters look to keep themselves in the heavyweight title picture ahead of the much-anticipated super-fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury this summer.

New Zealand heavyweight Joseph Parker takes on Chisora this weekend.

Chisora will be led into the ring by renowned trainer McGirt, who has worked previously with Sergey Kovalev and Matthew Macklin.

It means New Zealand star Parker is likely to face a nasty, awkward encounter, as McGirt revealed exclusively to NationalWorld.

"I don’t think Derek needs anyone to get him psyched up in any kind of way,” he said. “He knows what’s at stake here so he’s in a great place, so it makes my job so much easier.

Derek Chisora celebrates victory over David Price during their heavyweight fight at The O2 Arena on October 26, 2019 in London, England.

"He’s got a great frame of mind and he knows what he has to do in this fight. As Derek Chisora would say, let's get ready for war. It’s going to be a great night.

"We've got to mug Joseph Parker and slow him down. I'm teaching Derek now to hit him anywhere, not just on the chin.

"Derek was always one to hit the guy on the chin and knock them out. I’m like 'you don’t have to always hit the guy on the chin'. You hit the guy anywhere between his knees and his neck, except his nuts. So you hit him on the thigh, you hit him on the hip, you hit him on the shoulder, you hit him anywhere you possibly can.
