Joe Parker - Deep Waters

Joseph Parker will have his hands full when he meets Deontay Wilder in Saudi Arabia on December 23. But anyone who’s willing to brave the Forty Foot in Dublin at this time of year is clearly capable of anything. That’s been a daily habit of the New Zealander’s since he rocked up here with trainer Andy Lee. The pair have struck up a fruitful relationship over the past few years, ever since Tyson Fury recommended his cousin Lee as a coach when Parker was looking for a change in the corner. Here, Big Joe talks to The Rocky Road about those dips in the sea, Dalkey steaks, his outrageous CV, why Lee’s experience v Wilder can help him out, Katie Taylor the two-division undisputed champ and Paddy Donovan, who’s coming for it all. During the visit to Ballybrack Boxing Club we also watched Parker taking on four local amateur boxers, all coming up in the world, and spoke with Adam Olaniyan, Harry Geraghty and Martin McDonagh before and after their rounds with the former WBO world heavyweight champion.
