Joseph Parker's coach reveals secret to victory over Dubois before the fight
On February 22, in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), a heavyweight bout for the IBF World Championship will take place between Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker.
A few days before the match, Parker's coach, Andy Lee, shared the recipe for defeating the reigning champion.
Quote. "Joseph will be heavier; this might be his heaviest weight in his career. But this hasn't affected his speed, hand speed, or mobility. He definitely hits harder; I feel it during pad work. So, this was a good move for him.
I don't believe in the saying that if you're lighter, you move faster. If you're lighter, you move faster; whereas if you have weight, you'll keep your feet better grounded. You're a bit stronger in clinches. We're here in the physics game. The stronger, the better.
We're working on strength, speed, endurance, technique, skills, and combinations. You'll see it on the spot. You just need to go out and demonstrate it," Lee told Sky Sports News.
Parker's previous heaviest weight in his career was 255 pounds, which he reached for the fight against Joe Joyce in 2022, which became his last defeat.
Reminder. Earlier, Mike Tyson responded to Jake Paul's claim that he has Parkinson's disease.
