JOSEPH PARKER tapped into one of boxing's best encyclopaedias for advice on how to take down Deontay Wilder when he turned to pal Tyson Fury.
The Gypsy King is, of course, the only man to beat the Bronze Bomber and renowned for his knowledge on the sport, in particular the history of the heavyweight division.
He has beaten the American twice in emphatic fashion (right, their last fight in 2021) and arguably deserved the decision in their first meeting in 2018 when it was a draw.
So Kiwi puncher Parker, 31, could not have a better stablemate to offer insight as he works with one of Fury's trainers and cousins in Andy Lee at the world champion's Morecambe gym.
But the advice was so short Fury could have written it on a fag paper. "His advice was, 'Don't get knocked out - it's simple," said the former WBO heavyweight champion.
