'I'm going to give it back to him' - Joseph Parker to do his talking in the ring against Dillian Whyte

July 26, 2018

The Kiwi boxer said he is unfazed with the trash talk from his British rival.

Joseph Parker looked calm and confident as he entered a ring inside a Westfield mall in London during an open workout this morning.

The Kiwi told 1 NEWS that he isn't too concerned with trash talk from his opponent Dillian Whyte.

"Listen he can say whatever he wants to say, it's mind games," said Parker.

"It triggers a little bit in here, from what he says, I am going to give it back to him in the ring."

During an open workout in London, the Kiwi heavyweight was given a warm welcome from the locals.

After losing his WBO heavyweight title to Anthony Joshua in April, Parker says Whyte will be facing a completely different fighter.

"Different fire, different person, different animal – I am here for business."
