yoka has no power but mobility..Joshua is going to try and rip parker's head off not stick and move

i think more for the size most likely.... he's gonna fight a taller dude... might as well get one that weighs around the same and is the same height almost

Yoka with a 3-0? Might as well spar Dubois, can't wait for fight night!

they turned down fury, a world class boxer with massive height because the 'style was wrong' to bring a smaller less talented boxer who has a similar style to fury?

kevin barry is one of the worst trainers in the sport imo.

So what? The Samoan is going to do a Haka on his back when AJ drops him with a one-two. And yes, Kushking he did the haka with a gypsy no less.so apparently he doesn't know wtf he is.

Great news for both fighters.

Tony Yoka is very talented in my opinion, and he's also working with Virgil Hunter. Hopefully they can also get some input from Virgil himself.

Look I don't particularly rate Kevin Barry either but:

- Tyson Fury is grossly obese
- The most money Tyson could make is in a fight with Joshua. i.e. he has a motive for wanting Parker to lose
- he's very inconsistent
- he'd probably demand a lot of money

Fury wants Parker to win and has even put down tens of thousands of pounds to bet on him..
