JOSEPH PARKER tapped into one of boxing’s best encyclopedias for advice on how to take down Deontay Wilder when he turned to pal Tyson Fury.

He has beaten the American twice in emphatic fashion and arguably deserved the decision in their first meeting in 2018 when it was judged a draw.
So Kiwi puncher Parker, 31, couldn’t 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.

“His advice was don’t get knocked out, it’s simple,” said the former WBO heavyweight champion.
