    Kiwi heavyweight boxer Joseph Parker is well aware his career is on a knife edge... heading into his next fight, tomorrow morning in Manchester

    Kiwi heavyweight boxer Joseph Parker is well aware his career is on a knife edge... heading into his next fight, tomorrow morning in Manchester


    The former WBO champion was knocked out by Brit Joe Joyce in his most recent fight last September... the only time he's ever been K.O.'ed in a pro bout.

    Parker intends to use his size to bully former cruiserweight Jack Massey tomorrow morning, knowing full well he needs a statement performance to remain relevant.



    Parker has weighed in at 112 kilos - 5 kgs lighter than his last bout, but a whopping 14 kgs heavier than his opponent.
