If you win this next fight, 24 00:01:39,627 --> 00:01:44,067 Speaker 2: does that make a fight against Alexander Usik a certainty 25 00:01:44,307 --> 00:01:44,627 Speaker 2: for you? 26 00:01:45,467 --> 00:01:45,827 Speaker 4: Yeah? 27 00:01:45,947 --> 00:01:48,147 Speaker 5: You know what, it's great to have this fight locked 28 00:01:48,187 --> 00:01:51,107 Speaker 5: in for betweeny five. As a fighter, you want to 29 00:01:51,107 --> 00:01:53,427 Speaker 5: fight as often as he can, right. And I had 30 00:01:53,427 --> 00:01:56,307 Speaker 5: to fight in February against Martin McCauley, and I thought 31 00:01:56,347 --> 00:01:57,947 Speaker 5: to myself, two or three months and I should have 32 00:01:58,027 --> 00:02:00,227 Speaker 5: enough fight locked in. And it's taken a while to 33 00:02:00,227 --> 00:02:02,787 Speaker 5: get this fight locked in. But I was waiting for 34 00:02:02,867 --> 00:02:04,707 Speaker 5: you sick, and I kept waiting, keep waiting, And I 35 00:02:04,747 --> 00:02:06,347 Speaker 5: said to my team, you know what, instead of waiting 36 00:02:06,387 --> 00:02:07,987 Speaker 5: for USI, let's just lock in the fight. I need 37 00:02:08,027 --> 00:02:10,467 Speaker 5: to get busy. Time is ticking and I want to 38 00:02:10,507 --> 00:02:14,467 Speaker 5: get active, and so surely the winner of this fight 39 00:02:14,467 --> 00:02:16,467 Speaker 5: should get the chance to fight Usick. I know Usik 40 00:02:16,547 --> 00:02:18,267 Speaker 5: is injured, and Usik's out at the moment and enjoying 41 00:02:18,347 --> 00:02:21,987 Speaker 5: family time. But if we can get the win over 42 00:02:22,067 --> 00:02:24,667 Speaker 5: this fight over favor Wardley, then they used to fight. 43 00:02:24,787 --> 00:02:26,067 Speaker 4: Is next? Surely it is. 44 00:02:25,987 --> 00:02:29,347 Speaker 2: Next, surely surely. As you say, though, it's just your 45 00:02:29,387 --> 00:02:33,107 Speaker 2: third fight since you beat Deontay Wilder in December twenty 46 00:02:33,147 --> 00:02:35,547 Speaker 2: twenty three, so that's coming up two years. Would you 47 00:02:35,587 --> 00:02:37,187 Speaker 2: ideally like to fight more often? 48 00:02:38,387 --> 00:02:40,267 Speaker 4: I've made it. I've made it. 49 00:02:40,907 --> 00:02:44,867 Speaker 5: I've made the team aware, management team, promotional team, everyone 50 00:02:45,667 --> 00:02:48,307 Speaker 5: involved in my team that I want to fight often 51 00:02:48,507 --> 00:02:50,187 Speaker 5: and I want to fight as many times as I can, 52 00:02:50,227 --> 00:02:53,307 Speaker 5: And unfortunately there hasn't been the case for me. 53 00:02:53,907 --> 00:02:55,707 Speaker 4: Fighting three to five times. 54 00:02:55,467 --> 00:02:58,227 Speaker 5: A year would be fantastic, but I'm just not getting 55 00:02:58,227 --> 00:02:59,947 Speaker 5: those fights in an opportunities. So I'm not sure what 56 00:02:59,987 --> 00:03:01,987 Speaker 5: I need to do. I put up my hand. I've 57 00:03:01,987 --> 00:03:04,387 Speaker 5: said yes to every fighter have offered me. But finally 58 00:03:04,427 --> 00:03:06,187 Speaker 5: we have this fight locked in for October twenty five, 59 00:03:06,187 --> 00:03:08,587 Speaker 5: and hopefully with this fight and the win, we can 60 00:03:08,667 --> 00:03:10,227 Speaker 5: keep the ball rolling, keep it going. 61 00:03:10,907 --> 00:03:15,667 Speaker 2: How much has your fight preparation changed throughout your career. 62 00:03:17,227 --> 00:03:19,587 Speaker 5: I had eight years in Vegas, the tremendous eight years 63 00:03:19,587 --> 00:03:23,267 Speaker 5: of Kevin Barry becoming Champion of the world, defended against 64 00:03:23,307 --> 00:03:26,067 Speaker 5: Anthony Joshua unified it and I lost that fight, then 65 00:03:26,147 --> 00:03:29,067 Speaker 5: lost the instilling white, and then there's a time. There's 66 00:03:29,107 --> 00:03:31,147 Speaker 5: a time when I was in Vegas. No one's fault 67 00:03:31,147 --> 00:03:32,827 Speaker 5: by the time where I sort of lost the love 68 00:03:32,827 --> 00:03:35,107 Speaker 5: and passion for boxing. I'm not sure why. Maybe it 69 00:03:35,147 --> 00:03:37,867 Speaker 5: was just the same routine or I pushed harder and 70 00:03:37,907 --> 00:03:39,467 Speaker 5: it wasn't getting the results that I wanted. So I 71 00:03:39,507 --> 00:03:41,987 Speaker 5: may change, And I feel like I've learned so much 72 00:03:41,987 --> 00:03:44,947 Speaker 5: along the way. I've changed trainers, I've got a nutrition has, 73 00:03:44,947 --> 00:03:47,667 Speaker 5: I got to change conditioning train I've got a massage therapist, 74 00:03:47,867 --> 00:03:50,987 Speaker 5: and I have Right now, I can honestly say that 75 00:03:51,027 --> 00:03:52,947 Speaker 5: I have the best set up that I've ever had 76 00:03:52,947 --> 00:03:55,267 Speaker 5: in my whole entire life, in my whole career, and 77 00:03:55,347 --> 00:03:59,027 Speaker 5: I'm excited to show that once five time coming. But 78 00:03:59,067 --> 00:04:01,107 Speaker 5: we still got two and a half weeks to put 79 00:04:01,187 --> 00:04:01,467 Speaker 5: in work. 80 00:04:02,307 --> 00:04:04,427 Speaker 2: When you say you lost your passion for it, was 81 00:04:04,467 --> 00:04:06,307 Speaker 2: there ever a point when you wondered whether you would 82 00:04:06,427 --> 00:04:06,987 Speaker 2: get it back? 83 00:04:08,867 --> 00:04:09,067 Speaker 4: Yeah? 84 00:04:09,187 --> 00:04:12,107 Speaker 5: Yeah, I was thinking to myself, like it came a 85 00:04:12,147 --> 00:04:14,227 Speaker 5: point where I was just doing boxing just to do it, 86 00:04:14,867 --> 00:04:17,907 Speaker 5: and that's probably why I've had results where it wasn't 87 00:04:18,067 --> 00:04:20,147 Speaker 5: It wasn't the great results of getting the wins, but 88 00:04:20,187 --> 00:04:22,987 Speaker 5: it was like lack luster and it wasn't really exciting 89 00:04:23,027 --> 00:04:26,907 Speaker 5: to watch. And then now that I've found what I 90 00:04:26,907 --> 00:04:30,067 Speaker 5: feel like is the perfect preparations to a fight or 91 00:04:30,107 --> 00:04:33,787 Speaker 5: perfect camp, I love it. I love boxing. I've got 92 00:04:33,787 --> 00:04:36,427 Speaker 5: the passion for it. I wake up excited every single 93 00:04:36,507 --> 00:04:38,427 Speaker 5: day to train. I look forward to the meals that 94 00:04:38,467 --> 00:04:40,467 Speaker 5: we have because we're on a meal plan, and I 95 00:04:40,547 --> 00:04:42,827 Speaker 5: just can't wait to be in the best shape come 96 00:04:42,867 --> 00:04:43,387 Speaker 5: fight nighte. 97 00:04:43,827 --> 00:04:46,467 Speaker 2: I love that in the three years since you lost 98 00:04:46,467 --> 00:04:49,027 Speaker 2: to Joe Joyce, You've had six more bouts, won them all, 99 00:04:49,307 --> 00:04:51,147 Speaker 2: they often say. Sports people have said this to me 100 00:04:51,187 --> 00:04:53,307 Speaker 2: a lot. You know, you learn a lot more from 101 00:04:53,307 --> 00:04:55,867 Speaker 2: your defeats than you do from your wins. What did 102 00:04:55,867 --> 00:04:58,787 Speaker 2: you learn from from that defeat? The most you know 103 00:04:58,987 --> 00:05:00,907 Speaker 2: was that, as I say, three years ago, what did 104 00:05:00,907 --> 00:05:01,467 Speaker 2: you learn from that? 105 00:05:02,387 --> 00:05:05,227 Speaker 5: What I learned from that defeat. I learned many things 106 00:05:05,227 --> 00:05:07,947 Speaker 5: from defeat to Joe Joyce. The first one I learned 107 00:05:08,027 --> 00:05:10,667 Speaker 5: was don't ever fight if your health is not right. 108 00:05:10,907 --> 00:05:13,587 Speaker 5: Don't ever fight if you're not fit to fight. Secondly, 109 00:05:13,627 --> 00:05:15,747 Speaker 5: I started asking myself questions, what am I doing wrong? 110 00:05:15,787 --> 00:05:18,387 Speaker 5: I'm leaving my family and I'm traveling to England to 111 00:05:18,467 --> 00:05:20,707 Speaker 5: train for eight weeks at a time, leaving my wife 112 00:05:20,707 --> 00:05:23,307 Speaker 5: and kids at home. And how come I'm not getting 113 00:05:23,307 --> 00:05:27,067 Speaker 5: it right, you know, making these sacrifices. So then one 114 00:05:27,107 --> 00:05:28,827 Speaker 5: thing led to the next, and then I employed a 115 00:05:29,107 --> 00:05:32,787 Speaker 5: nutritionist and then worked on strength conditioning and actually, for 116 00:05:33,147 --> 00:05:35,787 Speaker 5: like right now, I got the best balance and so 117 00:05:35,987 --> 00:05:38,627 Speaker 5: from that fight, and even though you don't like losing fights, 118 00:05:38,627 --> 00:05:41,427 Speaker 5: but from that fight, I was able to make drastic 119 00:05:41,547 --> 00:05:45,547 Speaker 5: changes that I've seen be very beneficial in my career. 120 00:05:46,547 --> 00:05:48,827 Speaker 2: The whole Daniel Dubois thing was weird, wasn't it. You know, 121 00:05:48,907 --> 00:05:51,907 Speaker 2: you're supposed to fight him back in February he pulled out, 122 00:05:52,027 --> 00:05:54,787 Speaker 2: like call up for Martin Bacoli. You one that easily? 123 00:05:55,427 --> 00:05:58,547 Speaker 2: How do you reflect back on that, you know, incident 124 00:05:58,627 --> 00:05:59,347 Speaker 2: in your career? 125 00:05:59,987 --> 00:06:02,347 Speaker 4: You know what that I was very much looking forward. 126 00:06:02,427 --> 00:06:04,947 Speaker 5: My goal a year before that was I am going 127 00:06:05,027 --> 00:06:07,507 Speaker 5: to chase the IVF championship the world, and that's the 128 00:06:07,507 --> 00:06:09,907 Speaker 5: goal I'm going to take right And we were right there, 129 00:06:09,987 --> 00:06:11,987 Speaker 5: We had it right there in our hands, right and 130 00:06:12,067 --> 00:06:14,147 Speaker 5: it got taken away from us two days before the fight. 131 00:06:14,827 --> 00:06:16,027 Speaker 4: Again, there's no one to blame. 132 00:06:16,107 --> 00:06:18,907 Speaker 5: He got sick, and medical examiners talking him out of 133 00:06:18,907 --> 00:06:21,947 Speaker 5: the fight, and then Martin McAuley stepped in got that win, 134 00:06:22,107 --> 00:06:24,507 Speaker 5: but still I'm not satisfied. Like you know, dan In 135 00:06:24,587 --> 00:06:26,827 Speaker 5: Duois pulled out of that fight. They went to fight 136 00:06:26,907 --> 00:06:29,947 Speaker 5: U six for all the belts. So there's a lot 137 00:06:29,947 --> 00:06:31,867 Speaker 5: of things happening in boxing where even though you're getting 138 00:06:31,867 --> 00:06:33,467 Speaker 5: good results, and even though you're putting in the work 139 00:06:33,507 --> 00:06:36,867 Speaker 5: and you believe and you trust the process, but there's 140 00:06:36,907 --> 00:06:40,587 Speaker 5: so many other things against you, promoters. 141 00:06:40,107 --> 00:06:40,667 Speaker 4: Or the like. 142 00:06:40,707 --> 00:06:43,347 Speaker 5: You know, promoters, if you're not a favorite, if you're 143 00:06:43,347 --> 00:06:44,787 Speaker 5: not one of the favorite fighters, and if you're not 144 00:06:44,827 --> 00:06:48,707 Speaker 5: a big name, they'd rather give opportunities to their own guys. 145 00:06:48,787 --> 00:06:50,667 Speaker 4: So even though, so let's say. 146 00:06:50,547 --> 00:06:52,867 Speaker 5: We're fighting against the opponent, we're fighting against sometimes the 147 00:06:52,867 --> 00:06:54,907 Speaker 5: promoted to fight against everyone. But you know what, we 148 00:06:54,987 --> 00:06:58,867 Speaker 5: will get there because I remained strong and I you know, 149 00:06:58,907 --> 00:07:01,747 Speaker 5: I trusted my ability and I just love what I'm doing. 150 00:07:01,747 --> 00:07:04,267 Speaker 2: Now, how do you match up against Abeo Wardley? 151 00:07:06,027 --> 00:07:06,187 Speaker 4: Ah? 152 00:07:06,827 --> 00:07:10,387 Speaker 5: He comes with power, He's he's gotten a lot of 153 00:07:10,427 --> 00:07:12,867 Speaker 5: experience along the way with the pressure of fight he's had, 154 00:07:12,907 --> 00:07:16,107 Speaker 5: and every time he's he has stepped up in levels, 155 00:07:16,427 --> 00:07:18,107 Speaker 5: He's been able to find a way to win. But 156 00:07:18,147 --> 00:07:20,707 Speaker 5: I feel like with this fight, he's stepped up a 157 00:07:20,787 --> 00:07:24,547 Speaker 5: level too far. You know, he is mandatory number one 158 00:07:24,667 --> 00:07:28,387 Speaker 5: in the WBA and I'm mandatory number number one interim 159 00:07:28,427 --> 00:07:31,307 Speaker 5: champion WBO. But I do feel like with the experience 160 00:07:31,347 --> 00:07:34,027 Speaker 5: that I have and I know he possesses power. But 161 00:07:34,187 --> 00:07:36,387 Speaker 5: like I say to all the other fighters that I've fought, like, 162 00:07:36,467 --> 00:07:36,867 Speaker 5: bring it on. 163 00:07:38,467 --> 00:07:41,267 Speaker 2: Yeah, eighteen of us nineteen wins by knockout. So does 164 00:07:41,307 --> 00:07:44,067 Speaker 2: it suit you to take the fight deeper? I mean 165 00:07:44,307 --> 00:07:46,547 Speaker 2: you hardly even knocked out, I think once maybe in 166 00:07:46,547 --> 00:07:49,107 Speaker 2: your whole career. Does it suit you to take it deep? 167 00:07:50,307 --> 00:07:50,427 Speaker 4: Uh? 168 00:07:50,587 --> 00:07:52,147 Speaker 5: You know what if I could get a knockout in 169 00:07:52,147 --> 00:07:56,267 Speaker 5: the first round, Oh, that'll be sensational, that'll. 170 00:07:55,867 --> 00:07:57,787 Speaker 4: Be listen, that'll be the best. 171 00:07:57,827 --> 00:08:01,267 Speaker 5: But I know with this guy, I'm not underestimating him 172 00:08:01,267 --> 00:08:03,747 Speaker 5: in any sense, and I'm taking him so seriously that 173 00:08:03,787 --> 00:08:06,227 Speaker 5: I've done it like, I don't think there's any much 174 00:08:06,387 --> 00:08:08,467 Speaker 5: more that I could do in this camp. There's nothing 175 00:08:08,467 --> 00:08:10,467 Speaker 5: more that I could do to be as as prepared 176 00:08:10,467 --> 00:08:13,387 Speaker 5: as I'm going to be, And so I am. I'm 177 00:08:13,427 --> 00:08:15,827 Speaker 5: treating him like he he is the Yusak for me 178 00:08:15,907 --> 00:08:19,027 Speaker 5: because there's no point thinking about USIC or anyone else 179 00:08:19,547 --> 00:08:22,467 Speaker 5: if I don't get passed through favor ordly. 180 00:08:23,347 --> 00:08:25,507 Speaker 2: And I was just checking. I mean, we've been watching 181 00:08:25,507 --> 00:08:28,987 Speaker 2: me fight professionally since twenty twelve. Man, it seems like 182 00:08:28,987 --> 00:08:31,387 Speaker 2: an awfully long time ago. And you know, I mean, 183 00:08:31,427 --> 00:08:36,747 Speaker 2: that's a that is a spectacularly long career. How different 184 00:08:36,787 --> 00:08:38,787 Speaker 2: a fighter are you now from the Joe Parker we 185 00:08:39,827 --> 00:08:42,387 Speaker 2: saw a fight for the first time in July of 186 00:08:42,427 --> 00:08:43,067 Speaker 2: twenty twelve. 187 00:08:43,107 --> 00:08:45,987 Speaker 5: There, well, I don't even I don't even know where 188 00:08:46,027 --> 00:08:49,667 Speaker 5: to start in comparison like the fighter that I am now, 189 00:08:49,707 --> 00:08:52,627 Speaker 5: not even just the fighter, but the person now I'm 190 00:08:52,627 --> 00:08:53,067 Speaker 5: a father. 191 00:08:53,387 --> 00:08:54,627 Speaker 4: Like if I look back. 192 00:08:54,507 --> 00:08:58,187 Speaker 5: At that younger like the younger person or the younger 193 00:08:58,347 --> 00:09:01,587 Speaker 5: my younger self, I wouldn't even know where to start 194 00:09:01,667 --> 00:09:02,267 Speaker 5: or what to say. 195 00:09:02,387 --> 00:09:03,227 Speaker 4: What's you know? What I mean? 196 00:09:03,307 --> 00:09:07,707 Speaker 5: So totally different, And I get at this very moment 197 00:09:07,707 --> 00:09:08,867 Speaker 5: in time, I love life. 198 00:09:09,227 --> 00:09:11,147 Speaker 4: And they got the best. I got the best of 199 00:09:11,187 --> 00:09:11,707 Speaker 4: both worlds. 200 00:09:11,707 --> 00:09:15,307 Speaker 5: I got my training team here, my coaches besides therapist, 201 00:09:15,427 --> 00:09:18,707 Speaker 5: camera man, training partners, spiring partners. But then I also 202 00:09:18,747 --> 00:09:21,867 Speaker 5: have my family living five or six minutes up the road. 203 00:09:21,987 --> 00:09:23,787 Speaker 5: And do you know what that brings me joy to 204 00:09:23,827 --> 00:09:26,267 Speaker 5: be able to see them every single day. After a 205 00:09:26,307 --> 00:09:28,347 Speaker 5: hard day, I just go to where they're staying and 206 00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:31,027 Speaker 5: just see the kids, and they're so excited to see 207 00:09:31,067 --> 00:09:33,907 Speaker 5: me and I. Time goes so fast, not only in 208 00:09:33,947 --> 00:09:36,187 Speaker 5: boxing career, but in life, so you got to make 209 00:09:36,187 --> 00:09:37,427 Speaker 5: the most of every single day. 210 00:09:37,867 --> 00:09:40,227 Speaker 2: Sounds like you're in a brilliant place, Joseph. Chet's good 211 00:09:40,227 --> 00:09:41,947 Speaker 2: to get the chance to catch up made. These next 212 00:09:41,987 --> 00:09:43,987 Speaker 2: two weeks can't fly by quick enough, I'm sure for 213 00:09:44,067 --> 00:09:46,267 Speaker 2: you and for us as we get forward to get 214 00:09:46,467 --> 00:09:48,907 Speaker 2: rid of to watch you fight. Fabia Wardley, thanks for 215 00:09:49,227 --> 00:09:50,747 Speaker 2: logging and make great to chat and all the best. 216 00:09:50,747 --> 00:09:52,747 Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you very much, thanks for having me. 217 00:09:52,947 --> 00:09:55,027 Speaker 2: Thank you, no, thank you for joining us, Joseph. Joseph 218 00:09:55,067 --> 00:09:58,667 Speaker 2: Parker there from his training base in the UK ahead 219 00:09:58,747 --> 00:10:01,627 Speaker 2: of his next fight, which is two weeks away. The 220 00:10:01,667 --> 00:10:04,307 Speaker 2: morning here in New Zealand of Sunday, October twenty sixth 221 00:10:04,307 --> 00:10:09,067 Speaker 2: of that label weekend Sunday morning estimated ring walkers around 222 00:10:09,107 --> 00:10:12,027 Speaker 2: nine to forty five am New Zealand type, so it's 223 00:10:12,107 --> 00:10:15,107 Speaker 2: fairly civilized time to watch Joseph Parker's next fight live 224 00:10:15,147 --> 00:10:20,147 Speaker 2: and exclusive on Dezone up against Fabio Wardley. Look, I 225 00:10:20,147 --> 00:10:21,987 Speaker 2: don't know. I've sort of given up trying to work 226 00:10:22,027 --> 00:10:25,547 Speaker 2: out how boxing works. It's not as straightforward as you 227 00:10:25,547 --> 00:10:28,667 Speaker 2: could tell from Joseph Parker there that the winner of 228 00:10:28,707 --> 00:10:33,267 Speaker 2: this fight will definitely fight Alexander. You you sick. It doesn't 229 00:10:33,267 --> 00:10:36,227 Speaker 2: seem to work that way. Even though you hear that, 230 00:10:36,427 --> 00:10:39,667 Speaker 2: you know the winner will get the mandatory position to 231 00:10:39,787 --> 00:10:43,987 Speaker 2: fight him. That sounds pretty official, doesn't it. But look, 232 00:10:45,587 --> 00:10:47,227 Speaker 2: like I say, I've given up trying to work out 233 00:10:47,227 --> 00:10:50,187 Speaker 2: whether whether that will actually happen. I guess all we 234 00:10:50,387 --> 00:10:54,347 Speaker 2: do know is that Joseph is fighting Fairbea Wardley in 235 00:10:54,387 --> 00:10:56,147 Speaker 2: a couple of weeks, and if he wins that it'd 236 00:10:56,187 --> 00:10:59,347 Speaker 2: have to be near the front of the queue. Wouldn't 237 00:10:59,387 --> 00:11:02,507 Speaker 2: he near the front of the queue. So yeah, we 238 00:11:02,587 --> 00:11:04,507 Speaker 2: look forward to that coming up. 239 00:11:05,267 --> 00:11:08,427 Speaker 1: For more from Weekend Sport with Jason Fine, listen live 240 00:11:08,547 --> 00:11:11,827 Speaker 1: to News Talk set B weekends from midday, or follow 241 00:11:11,867 --> 00:11:13,427 Speaker 1: the podcast on iHeartRadio.
