Kiwi Boxing Parker vs Chisora fight live online free

Kiwi boxer Joseph Parker admits his passion for boxing was waning under former trainer Kevin Barry and a change was needed to resurrect his career.

The former WBO heavyweight champion fights Derek Chisora in May, his first bout in eight years without Barry in his corner. parker vs chisora live

After a comfortable decision win over Junior Fa in February, Parker and Barry amicably ended a long-term partnership that featured a heavyweight title and several marquee fights against the world's best.

Parker has linked with former world champion Andy Lee - a relative of WBC heavyweight kingpin Tyson Fury - for his clash with Chisora and reveals the change of camp has freshened him up.

Speaking to iFL TV, the 29-year-old says it was the right time to split from the former Olympic boxing medallist.

"I wasn't really excited about going back to Las Vegas to train," Parker says. "I didn't have the excitement that I should have had to box. 

"I initially wanted to base myself in New Zealand, but I had a chat with Tyson [Fury] about his advice on who I should train with - that changed my approach and I joined up with Andy."

Parker doesn't want to look back on his career with any ‘what ifs’ and moving his training base to the UK plants him right in the centre of the sport’s biggest fanbase. 

"I am happy I am here in the UK, because this is where I want to be. Boxing here is massive. 

"The fans get behind the sport and get behind the boxers. I have a great support base here in the UK, so it's great to be here and great to not have to worry about travel weeks out from the fight."

Thirty-six-year-old Lee is a former middleweight champion and Fury’s second cousin.

The Irishman ended his career in 2017 with a 35-3-1 record, before turning to training, where Parker is his first high-profile fighter.

Parker immediately felt chemistry with Lee, whom he describes as "calm and relaxed".

"When it's time to train hard in the gym, he switches on and we go hard," Parker says. 

"He was pretty happy with the skills I already brought, so for him, it was about building on that and not changing anything. 

"He's tidied up a few areas and I feel that change already through the sparring that we have had. 

"Hopefully over the next few weeks, we can keep adjusting and add a few small things along the way."

While Parker's relationship with Lee is currently for this fight only, a win over Chisora would likely keep them together in the UK for the rest of 2021, with big fights on the horizon. 

"My future will be dictated by the result on May 1 [May 2, NZ time]. 

"If we get the result, then maybe we stick around in the UK and see if a fight can be made quickly, and I can continue training here and get ready for my next fight.

"We could bring the family over here, have a bit of an extended holiday, have some fun and get ready to fight.

"If I go out there and have fun, let my hands go and do the job, I can relax a bit and enjoy life for a while."

Chisora vs Parker Fight Showdown in Manchester

Chisora reckons he'd have won the WBO belt had he fought for it in New Zealand like Parker, who he faces in a mouth-watering showdown at Manchester Arena next Saturday

Dereck Chisora reckons he’d have been a world champion just like Joseph Parker had he been a Kiwi fighting for a world title in New Zealand.

Parker, who takes on Chisora in Manchester on Saturday, won the vacant WBO heavyweight world title against Andy Ruiz in Auckland in 2016 but lost it to Anthony Joshua 17 months later.

Chisora said: “If I had boxed for the title he won in New Zealand, I would have won it as well.

“There’s not much really happening in New Zealand.

“If that fight was on a different continent he’d have lost it because when Ruiz was bringing the heat on and pushing the fight… it went Joe’s way because it was his show.

“He has been given fights and he has fought those fights.”

Chisora turned 37 in December but has no plans to quit the fight game anytime soon and he has teamed up with new trainer Buddy McGirt ahead of his clash with Parker.

Chisora added: “I’m feeling good, I’m in great shape, great mind, everything has gone well and I can’t complain.

“What keeps the fire burning? Money. It keeps me on fire, keeps me going.

“You can never have enough money. Parker vs Chisora live stream

“Buddy has brought some good stuff. He’s not changing my style, he’s just putting some little things into my style. Which is good.

“People say ‘you can’t teach an old dog new tricks’ but really and truly it’s a lie. Only a stupid dog can’t learn new tricks. I’m improving on my game.”
