Joseph Parker's mum Sala has offered her son a bit of advice, to learn from his fight with Anthony Joshua and to throw more leather in his bout with Dillian Whyte on Sunday (NZ time).
Parker's mum believes her son is in tip-top shape and has learned from his unification fight loss against Joshua in April.
The Kiwi faces off against the Brit on Sunday morning.
"The fight with Joshua I guess that was the most challenging for him but I always believed and this is what I always tell Joe - 'it's good to fall and when you fall you can always pick yourself up and run again'," said Sala.
"I guess when you fall it gives you more energy and more drive and that's how Joseph is right now."
Sala revealed her son was frustrated that he didn't empty the tank in Cardiff, Wales.
Parker will aim to get his career back on track when he faces Dillian White in London on Sunday.
"When he (Parker) looked at the footage of the last fight with Joshua he was like 'I didn't put it all in because I still had energy after the fight'.
"So in this one he's promised he's going to put everything and leave everything in the ring."
