Elated Joseph Parker eager to improve as IBF world title challenge looms video
Joseph Parker beats Carlos Takam
SKY SPORT
Joseph Parker prevails after 12 grueling rounds to defeat Carlos Takam and earn a world heavyweight title shot.
Joseph Parker feels a real heavyweight now though he's realistic enough to know he needs improvement to take the next dramatic step and win a world title.
Parker earned a title shot when he beat France's Carlos Takam in an IBF eliminator in south Auckland on Saturday night.
He passed a major examination, going 12 rounds for the first time and showing resolve to rebound from several shaky moments.
Joseph Parker embraces Carlos Takam and now the Kiwi heavyweight is embracing his new status as a mandatory world title challenger.
It's those moments he and trainer Kevin Barry will look to improve as they build towards the title fight against big-hitting British world champion Anthony Joshua in London.
