Here's hoping, craig. What makes me nervous is that the fight is also being sold by SKY for $40 (Early Bird). Guess they're hoping that maybe no one's heard of DAZN.

I believe its $40 PPV on Spark Sport in NZ. 20 pound Sky PPV in the UK and streaming on DAZN everywhere else.

Got it! Thank you.
Joseph Parker senses long-term relationship with new trainer Andy Lee
Duncan Johnstone

Joseph Parker is enjoying the fresh motivation coming from new trainer Andy Lee and old friend Tyson Fury.
It’s early days, but Joseph Parker has experienced enough of new trainer Andy Lee’s methods to want a long-term relationship.

Much will depend on how the Kiwi heavyweight fares in their first assignment together, when Parker takes on rugged Brit Dereck Chisora in Manchester on May 2 (NZT).

They’ve only had five weeks together since Parker made the bold decision to break ties with Kevin Barry and Parker likes the vibe, the methods and the connections that Lee has brought to his training regime.

“It’s dependent on the result and there’s always a chance you win or lose in this game, but personally, I want this relationship to last,” Parker told Stuff from his camp in Morecambe in the north of England.

“Andy’s a great trainer, a good person to be around with good energy, very positive.

“Outside the gym we have fun, good laughs. But when you get to the gym he knows how to switch it on. He doesn’t accept any mucking around, it’s business and hard work.

“I feel like it’s going to be a long-term relationship if we win this fight.”

It seems former WBO middleweight world champion Andy Lee has struck a bond with Joseph Parker.
Lee came on the recommendation of Parker’s good mate, WBC champion Tyson Fury. Lee, a second cousin, has worked as one of Fury’s assistant trainers. The link is gold in the eyes of Parker who now has access to Fury’s gym facilities and has been working shoulder-to-shoulder with “The Gypsy King” for periods of this camp.

That has been an eye-opener for Parker. Fury has been full of encouragement and has been leading by example, which has been a huge motivation for Parker.

“He’s a beast at training. I train hard, and I thought my level was up there, but when I saw him train, it’s at a level of intensity that I haven’t done before,” former WBO champion Parker said.

“I’ve never had a training relationship with Tyson, it’s been more social, like dinners in Vegas. When you train alongside him, he’s a good person to be around. He pushes everyone, not just me, but everyone.

“Everyone trains together, everyone pushes each other, everyone encourages each other. It’s different to training alone, and I love that aspect of it.

“I feel like with the change, the new environment, I’ve got the excitement back.”

Out of the gym, Fury has been reinforcing the positives to Parker, 29, who is determined to make the most of this next phase of his career. He has established himself in the top tier of heavyweights but wants more before he hangs up his gloves.

“He knows I want to be champion of the world again. He’s supportive, simply telling me it’s all up to me train hard and there’s no reason why I can’t make that happen. But he also knows I have to win this fight, he’s made that clear to me.”

Lee has been determined not to overload an eager Parker with new techniques or thoughts.

“I’ve come here open-minded to try new things and to listen to what Andy has to say in terms of skills, what to work on, game plan. It’s all good.

“He hasn’t made it complicated because of the short time-frame, but he has made me very aware of what and why I’m doing things. He has corrected a few things he has picked up, a lot of them are little things, basics really.”

Heavyweight rivals Joseph Parker and Dereck Chisora finally meet in the ring on May 2.
Lee will be sure to install an aggressive mindset for the challenge of Chisora, and it will be fascinating to see how this fight unfolds.

Parker is in the final fight of his current Matchroom Boxing deal, knowing he needs to make an impression to get a new contract. He also knows how tough Chisora can be.

“He’s tough, he comes forward, he throws heaps of punches, and he doesn’t really tire. I have to be careful and cautious, but I have to let my hands go. I can’t be defensive and not let my hands go. The time you can knock someone out is when you throw your hands, combinations, let it flow.

“I’m taking this fight as seriously I can I’m putting in the best work I can, every session.”
Parker was over-eager for a KO against Fa

Let's hope he can be more patient with Chisora
The technical issues Joseph Parker must address

Joseph Parker seemed to run out of ideas after three rounds and was fortunate to escape with a decision over Junior Fa.
Joseph Parker’s new trainer has identified some issues he believes could be catastrophic if they aren’t addressed against Dereck Chisora.

Andy Lee has taken charge of Parker for the May 2 (NZT) fight with Chisora in Manchester and has quickly spotted a couple of weaknesses in the former WBO heavyweight champion.

“He has some real issues … his balance and some lapses in concentration for a round. These are massive things,” Lee told Boxing Social.

Lee said facing Chisora was predictable and Parker needed to handle the inevitable battle that would be brought to him.

“It’s not rocket science … Chisora will be physical, he will come forward, he has a very good double jab,” Lee said of the rugged Brit.

“If Joe can’t handle the physical side he will get knocked out. If Joe has a loss of concentration, he will get knocked out.”

Trainer Andy Lee says Joseph Parker can't afford any lapses in concentration against Dereck Chisora.
Lee expects Parker to win but has also stressed the consequences of this big opportunity to his 29-year-old fighter.

“If he loses, it’s hard to see him reaching the pinnacle again,” Lee said bluntly.

“Dereck Chisora is a very good fighter. He can beat anyone on his day, probably apart from Tyson Fury and maybe Anthony Joshua.

“Chisora is a warrior with an old school style.”

Dereck Chisora used his trademark aggression to knock out Carlos Takam, a fighter who took Joseph Parker the distance.
Lee said he was surprised to get the call-up to coach Parker on the recommendation of his cousin Fury. He accepted the challenge because he sees real potential in Parker.

Lee had watched Parker’s last fight, a laboured win against Junior Fa, which led to Parker cutting ties with long-serving trainer Kevin Barry to seek fresh ideas.

“Joe started out really well against Junior Fa but ran out of ideas,” Lee told Boxing Social, believing Fa would trouble a lot of the top fighters with his size and awkward style.

Lee said he and Parker had gelled quickly and were maximising the limited time they had to prepare for the Chisora fight.

That meant enjoying each other's company outside the gym, which included Lee cooking meals for Parker.

“It’s about spending time with him … you have to … we’re asking a lot of questions of each other.”

Stuff
Call me old school, but there was a feature on about a week ago with Lee cooking alfredo pasta for Parker. Alfredo is full of fat and heaps of calories. He needs to be eating healthy food this close to the fight. He needs to put on muscle, not fat. I eat vegetarian pasta 4x a week, and none of it contains much fat. Pasta, vegetables, spices, broth. Yummy, good for you, and you can lose weight and fat.
They can eat KFC and BurgerKing for all I care

So long as Parker gets a convincing win
