Joseph Parker (30-3, 21 KOs), who faced the strongest heavyweights in his career, after losing by knockout Joe Joyce (15-0, 14 KOs) admitted that the Briton was the toughest opponent for him.
“Joe was the biggest test for me at this stage of my career,” said the New Zealander. - As you can see, he constantly applied pressure, and when I hit him, he continued to go forward. We knew exactly what to do, but it didn't work as expected. That's what boxing is."
“Joyce was very tough compared to my other opponents. You saw how hard he pressed. Congratulations to him, he is a great boxer!” - added Parker, who last Saturday for the first time in his career lost ahead of schedule.
