Current WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury is close with Joseph Parker and has been for some time, so it comes as no surprise as to who ‘The Gypsy King’ is backing.
Speaking to The Stomping Ground, he said:
“Joe’s me pal so I’m never going to go against him. I do think he can win that fight. I think he can outbox him as long as he doesn’t get caught standing still and trading with the guy. Joe has got very good footwork and boxing ability.
“Joe has come on a long way since he’s been training in Morecambe Bay, home of champions. Zhang has got fast hands and slow feet so if you stand in front him he’ll punch you to pieces but he’ll be alright, I think Joe will beat him.”
