Kiwi boxer Joseph Parker has had to withdraw from his upcoming bout in London after picking up what's thought to be an illness caused by a spider bite.

Currently in Las Vegas, where he prepares for all his fights, the former WBO heavyweight world champ was due to take on British contender Dereck Chisora in London at the end of this month.

But, as Parker's manager David Higgins confirmed to Clay Wilson, that will no longer be happening.
