In any other year, that would have been enough to earn him a title shot, but the four major belts are all tied up in the undisputed fight of Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury, 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 big three heavyweights all busy, Parker decided to call out Dillian Whyte, who beat him by unanimous decision in their July 2018 clash.
On Monday morning, the New Zealander shared a 77 second video on social media and directed the caption towards Whyte, it read: “I want you back for good, Dillian Whyte. Otherwise, I move on.

Whyte has 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 his victory over Jermaine Franklin in November 2022.
Whyte was supposed to face Joshua last August, but their fight was canceled due to a failed drug test.
After being cleared to return to the ring, Whyte fought 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 back into title contention, and there is no better opponent to face to do so than Parker.
