Kiwi Parker, 29, won on a split decision after recovering from a knockdown just SEVEN seconds into the Manchester fight.

But War’s old rival Dillian Whyte reckons he got the better of former WBO king Parker

Londoner Chisora, 37, believed he had beaten the ex-world champ and fumed: “This is the treatment I get from boxing.

“It’s unbelievable. Most people thought I won.”

And Whyte, who beat Del Boy on a similarly razor-thin split in 2016 and KO’d him sensationally in 2018, felt compassion for his old nemesis.

Whyte said: “Boxing is mad. Derek Chisora got robbed.

“There is not a lot of love between us but he fought his heart out and I felt he won the fight by at least two rounds.

“I think he got robbed and it is very unfair because he left it all on the line.

“He knocked Parker down in the first round, for a 10-8 round, and I think he won five or six more rounds after that. Boxing is f* up”.

Former WBO king Parker and his new trainer Andy Lee admitted they did not think they did enough to win the fight on foreign soil, though the Kiwi believes he is now back on track for another world title challenge.
