Two comments about KB's comments above: 1) why wasn't Parker in better shape vs Hughie? Why did he need to come in heavy if he knew he'd have to chase Hughie around? And 2) KB said that AJ wouldn't be able to find a sparring partner with JP's hand speed. Maybe not in the heavy's, but I'm sure there are some cruiser and light heavy's in the UK, probably even in Hearn's stable, that could do the trick.
But all in all, Parker looks like he's coming to fight. Should be a good one.
Glad to hear JP getting himself in tip top shape physically and mentally - its a massive challenge so anything less is not going to be good enough.
As long as he comes in in great shape fights as hard and intelligently as he can whatever the result he can be proud of himself and us Kiwis should be proud of him.
Go JP
Let's all hope that with reduced weight will come
greatly enhanced SPEED and MOVEMENT
Speed, movement (especially head movement). If he moves his hands, feet, and head too fast, do you think he'll get dizzy? Will AJ?
Damn Andy Ruiz has some fast hands though - what a waste of a talent to be honest- hope he can get back up

Joshua will have okolie and dubois in for sparring probably
