There's a massive bout in boxing's heavyweight division on Saturday as Joseph Parker and Derek Chisora meet in their much-anticipated rematch. Here at betting.bet we'll offer our big fight preview with the best pre-fight odds courtesy of our betting partners at William Hill.The two heavyweights served up a classic back in May as Joseph Parker edged a split decision win in Manchester. Seven months on, we're back at the same venue where both fighters are targeting the win that'll see them thrust back amongst the elite and a potential future world title fight.Former WBO world champion, Parker has never been stopped as a professional with both his career losses coming in tight points decisions against Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte.Derek Chisora has lost nine pro fights but has been stopped just three times. David Haye and Dillian Whyte both defeated Chisora by KO whilst Del Boy retired on his stool against Tyson Fury.What We Learned From the Weigh-inFor all the pre-fight talk, the weigh-in is where we really learn a lot about a boxer's preparation and game plan. When Parker and Chisora met in their first bout, Parker conceded 9lbs to his British counterpart and was outmuscled and even bullied throughout the fight. Parker has bulked up for the rematch, rising 10lbs from their first meeting to tip the scales at 251lbs.Perhaps quite surprisingly, Chisora is now the lighter of the two fighters. Chisora weighed 250lbs in the first fight but struggled with the pace in the latter rounds. A slightly trimmer Chisora weighed in at 248.5lbs this week.So, What Does This All Mean?Parker is clearly preparing to go into the trenches. The former WBO world champion now has the weight behind him to go toe-to-toe with Chisora. As long as Parker can remain as silky and fleet footed as ever then he could cause Chisora real problems with that extra weight.On the flipside, Parker's weight gain could play into the hands of Del Boy. Chisora will be ready to go to war and will thrive if the fight turns into a dogfight.If Parker fails to finish off Chisora in the early rounds then the extra weight could prove a major disadvantage. We have two suggested bets depending on how the fight plays out. Joseph Parker to win between rounds four and six is available at 9/1 alternatively, a points win for Chisora is available at 11/2.Fight OddsTo winJoseph Parker: 2/5Derek Chisora: 11/5Draw: 16/1Method of Victory Parker by KO, TKO or DQ: 2/1Parker by decision or technical decision: 11/8Chisora by KO, TKO or DQ: 4/1Chisora by decision or technical decision: 11/2Sign up to William HillLooking for betting sites to bet on the boxing?
