Joseph Parker mixes up training by hanging out on set with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson
Joseph Parker met Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson on set.
New Zealand heavyweight Joseph Parker is mixing up training by hanging out with Hollywood's finest after meeting Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson on set for the American actor's latest movie.
On holiday in the Pacific this month, Parker has already met actors and WWE stars but the Kiwi boxer has now spent time with Johnson, one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time.
Parker said it was a privilege to meet Johnson, who has Samoan heritage, on set for the Hobbs & Shaw movie released in August.
Johnson played rugby when he briefly lived in Auckland and, in 2016, he called it the "toughest sport" he's played.
Meanwhile, Parker's career faces match-making issues as he looks to rebuild in 2019 following his first professional defeats against Brits Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte in the UK.
Having lost his WBO title and damaging consecutive losses during a difficult 2018, the 26-year-old will look to springboard off a December knockout victory over Alexander Flores in Christchurch.
