– Dubois is thinking about a rematch with Usyk, but at one time Wilder was thinking about fighting Joshua, and he lost to me and it was all over.

Joseph Parker said that after years of hard work, he finally built the right team thanks to which a path to success was created.

– I found the right formula, the right training, and it all suddenly fired up and started working. And this is just the beginning. I’m 33 years old, and I love what I do even more. I’m enjoying it all, and I’m just entering the peak of my career. I can also safely say that I am a happy player today, and the best is yet to come.

– I surrounded myself with a small group of trusted people. Andy Lee is a coach and teacher. He guides me and lays out the tactical plan for the fight. This is something very important, tactical assumptions and their implementation is a guarantee of success. George Lockhart, in turn, is responsible for physical preparation and nutrition.

The former WBO champion has ambitious plans, however, he realizes the scale of the challenge and the event, which will take place on February 22 in Riyadh.

– This one is a big challenge and it’s not about the fight itself, but the performance itself at a big gala like this one. I have been training very hard and I am already looking forward to our duel with excitement. Dream scenario? I win the belt at the expense of Daniel, then unify the others in a clash with Usyk, and then get a rematch for my earlier defeats.
