Kiwi boxer Joseph Parker believes Dillian Whyte has become agitated by his calls for a highly anticipated rematch.

Last month, Parker was on the receiving end of a scathing verbal attack by Whyte, who called for Parker to fight "someone credible" instead of "prancing around his kitchen" in his music videos.

In July 2018, Whyte became the first man to floor Parker in the professional ranks during a unanimous decision victory.

Since then, Parker has pushed hard for a return bout.

The former heavyweight champion says he can beat Whyte if he agrees to the rematch.

He says he knows Whyte is chasing his goals and dreams of being champion of the world, but if there's no one there willing to give him that opportunity, he is willing and ready.
