German heavyweight boxing champion Yakup Saglam says his experience will be crucial against New Zealand prospect Joseph Parker. Yakup Saglam has scoffed at suggestions he's a dirty fighter but says he can take that route if it's needed to beat rising New Zealand heavyweight boxer Joseph Parker. Parker's experienced manager Kevin Barry has questioned the tactics of the German champion ahead of Saturday night's showdown in Palmerston North, alleging Saglam has a dark history of hitting opponents on the back of the head and with low blows. It's added an edge to the buildup to the scheduled 12-rounder, clearly hitting a nerve with Saglam. "I am a fair fighter. I don't know where Parker's manager got that from. But if you want a dirty fight … if Joseph is going to use dirty tactics, he will get it from me too," the 38-year-old declared as he fronted the media in Auckland. Speaking through a translator, the Turkish-born veteran said he would reveal his style on Saturday night. Known for his heavy hands – he has 31 knockouts in winning 34 of his 38 fights – Saglam believed he offered a unique challenge for unbeaten 23-year-old Parker. "I'm experienced, I have been through a lot of fights. Joseph is a good fighter but he has not fought someone like me. I've been chosen because I'm a hands-on fighter and Joseph has to learn to take on such hard enemies if he wants to go further. I've been through a lot of tough fights." Saglam, like Parker, has sparred with world champion Wladimir Klitschko and revealed he took his "Scorpion" nickname after a man in his village was killed after being stung by one. "It only took five minutes," he said of the death that left an impression on him. This is his first fight out of Europe and he welcomed the chance to fight further afield as opponents were becoming increasingly hard to find. His camp acknowledged the difficulty of taking the fight on late notice and the jet-lag factor after only arriving in New Zealand on Sunday. But they said they didn't want to make any excuses and didn't expect either to be deciding factors. - Stuff RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 06-09-2015 http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/other-sports/69228662/joseph-parker-to-use-wladimir-klitschkos-attention-to-detail-to-beat-yakup-saglam RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 06-10-2015 NZ heavyweight Joseph Parker training to go the extra distance with Yakup Saglam Joseph Parker's boxing will be tested over 12 rounds for the first time on Saturday night when he takes on German fighter Yakup 'The Scorpion' Saglam in their heavyweight bout in Palmerston North. Parker has had 13 fights as a professional but mostly over 10 rounds and has been preparing for the fight to go all the way at training in Las Vegas and Florida. "The way we have prepared we are prepared to go the distance," Parker said at Wednesday's press conference. "It gets pretty serious, worse than the fight sometimes. My fitness is there to go 12 rounds, so I'm ready." Parker has been going hard with his Polish sparring partner of Nigerian origin, Izuagbe Ugonoh. Parker's opponent, Saglam, might be aged 38 - Parker is 23 - but the German fighter of Turkish origin looked trim when he fronted the media and is expected to plant himself in the middle of the ring on Saturday. "He has definitely got a lot of power; he looks like he can throw big bombs," Parker said. "He's not floating like a butterfly, but he is definitely staunch and we can tell he's in good shape." The Parker camp have studied footage of Saglam and know they have to sharpen up Parker's defence which has slackened off in the past, and hope to bring the jab into play. Saglam possesses more power than most of Parker's previous opponents: "An 80 per cent knockout percentage is pretty big," Parker said. The Kiwi could see the amusing side of holding a press conference in a burger eatery, in deference to the fight sponsors, but said he would only indulge in the products after the fight. Rankings from two organisations, the WBO (World Boxing Organisation) and WBA (World Boxing Association), will be at stake in Palmerston North and the more regional titles Parker can collect, the quicker he can climb them. Saglam said he'd sparred with world champion Wladimir Klitschko six years ago and claimed, through an interpreter, that the Ukrainian "got scared and pulled out".Saglam hadn't been there to make friends, he claimed. Most took that rhetoric with a grain of salt while Parker's trainer, Kevin Barry, said Klitschko had a lot of sparring partners, often six to eight. - Stuff RE: Joseph Parker - gothenaki - 06-11-2015 I still can't get over Saglam fighting a guy who has a 0-54 record (20th fight) and another who has 0-27 (30th fight). I mean, there's bums, and then there's bums without a pulse. Who does that for their 20th and 30th fights? The guy he beat for the "vacant GBA German Heavyweight Title" is ranked 600 by boxrec The only boxers of any quality he's been in with are Charr and Solis and he was stopped by both easily. 2nd-4th round stoppage for Joseph RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 06-11-2015 Yes, but Saglam beat both of them. By KO. No wonder Klit made him go home in sparring because Saglam beat him up too bad. Said he came to fight, and Klit couldn't take it. Watch out, Parker! Parker 3rd Round KO in dramatic fashion. RE: Joseph Parker - gothenaki - 06-11-2015 What's your prediction guys? |
