Before finishing his career with top English trainer Adam Booth, Lee worked with the late Emanuel Steward at his famous Kronk Gym.

Gotta say I'm a million times more excited about Andy Lee than Ben Davidson or even Shane McGuigan but I can't train with Barry coes he's overseas but I can train with Lee??? It can't be as amicable as they made out surely
If Parker is to be fighting in the UK then it makes sense to have a UK trainer.
I'm not sure of the details but I'm guessing Parker would need to quarantine when coming into the UK if he still lived in the US with KB. Much easier for Parker to come from NZ to the UK, then no need to quarantine before the fight.
