Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte: Joseph Parker reveals what he has learned from the Gypsy King

Joseph Parker has reflected on what he has learned about himself from training with Tyson Fury.

The New Zealand heavyweight has spent the past few weeks living at home with Fury and his coach SugarHill Steward, who arrived in Morecambe last month to oversee the remainder of the Gypsy King’s camp for his WBC and Ring Magazine heavyweight world title clash at Wembley Stadium, after masterminding his latest victory over Deontay Wilder in October.

Parker is arguably enjoying the second wind of his career after back-to-back victories over Derek Chisora, having recently linked up with new trainer Andy Lee last year.

The former world champion explained it was Fury himself who recommended Lee in the first place which led to him switching trainers.

Speaking to GiveMeSport.com earlier this week, Parker said: “When I first decided to leave my old trainer, I called up Tyson.

“I said, ‘Hey, I’m looking at leaving Kevin, I’m looking at going with this trainer, is he good or can you suggest someone?’

“He said, ‘I’ve got the best guy for you’.

“That’s how me and Andy hooked up.

“And I think Andy, he said to me that Andy is not just a trainer or a pad holder, he is a teacher.

“And when I started working with Andy I could see why he suggested for me to train with Andy.

“Because of his own experience of boxing, I think Andy knows the ins and outs of fighting in the ring, and when he teaches, he teaches with passion, and he teaches with detail.

“So I guess Sugar is Tyson’s main coach, but then Andy is just a compliment of what Sugar does, and he’s always there for Tyson.”

Parker, who has previously fought Whyte before, has been a part of Fury’s inner circle for a number of years now.
