A KH here 4 seconds out great to be speaking to the astute mind of trainer Andy Lee ahead of Joseph Parker’s fight with J Jang Andy I give you an introduction got something good how you doing thanks good how are you yeah not so bad all the better speaking to
Yourself look it sounds like it’s so simple but the confidence must be so Sky High for Joe Parker big win over jent Wilder that that part that confidence must set up the victory against y Jang how much of a factor for Fighters is that confidence sounds easy as it’s a big
Factor but really how much does it bring out of a fighter yeah confidence um and momentum but all yeah the winning of big fights like that big test I think it just self-esteem they had alltime high for Joseph and just believe the belief in himself yeah that’s that’s what winen does
Fear I saw the interview with boxing news and you drew a little picture and you’re looking for the left hook knockout I’m sure there are other avenues to success but feel the best route for victory for Joe is to go and search for that KO um I think the best route for victory
In all honest opinion would be to box smart early try not to take any or as little as punishment as possible um not not Bank on it but you’d have to imagine that Shang will slow down and not be as dangerous the second half of the fight because he’s 40 years
Old has a lot of miles on the clock and he’s shown in the past that he does slow down even though he’s still dangerous so I think it’s to be smart early on pick your spots don’t get greedy move head movements similar to the wildly fight concentration levels at all
Time uh eyes keeping your eyes keep being present being in the moment um and if there is a chance to take him out at the round in later rounds and go for it but it’s an extremely dangerous fight CU J is very clever SAA who Waits
Stays nice high guard tucked up let you punch first and then counters you usually at the same time as you punch um so it’s a very dangerous fight I’m not an expert like you are but is there much you can take out from the game plan or at least the type of
Fighter that Joe Joe Joyce is and equate that to what J Jang is maybe not the most mobile maybe there angles that can be used on the fighter Big punches looking to set those big punches up and the big finishes up and maybe tires uh towards the later rounds no I think
Um I think the Joyce fights are interesting but Joyce um I think it looks it’s an interesting fight the first fight because even though Jang was well ahead had the swelling not happened on Joyce’s eye he might have caught up with going down the straight was starting to slow and you
Can see that Jo was starting to get in a mid of a RM but then the swelling happened and stop BR second fight I think confidence was shot didn’t have much of an idea what to do when he got hit at the end of second round went
Straight back to his normal boxing not great reactions slow punching was made for good match for is Jang the big fearsome fighter that the Press Us Media make him out to be is he that big fearsome fighter yeah he is he’s probably one of the biggest punches in the
Division he’s massive in size and stature he’s the souo as well with a great amateur background so he’s very good fighter Joe Parker himself know keeping a Keen Eye on J Jang um it was a bit of a shame actually I saw some interviews with jontay wilder and he came up some
Reasons or excuses you might say as to why he didn’t get the victory over Joe Parker did he see those interviews and were you disappointed that the credit wasn’t been given by Wilder to Parker yeah I think everyone um even underestimate Joseph you know and I think everyone didn’t give Joseph really the
Recognition deserve because before the fight wer was so dangerous he was going to fight AJ but when he was Master Joseph all of a sudden he’s just an Alo run you know just he’s washed up and he’s finished but that’s what boxing is these days you
Know one last and your over the hill but um no I don’t think Joe got the credit he deserve from wer or from anybody else why is that why why do you think he doesn’t get that credit because he’s thought pretty much everyone there is to fight yeah well people are going to
Change their opinion when Joseph gets another win at the weekend their perception of Joe will change all we can do is keep winning we can’t control what people think couple of rematches to Target one being Joshua one being Joyce and also Dylan white now back in the
Frame those three in Parker’s Minds for the future and your mind for the future yeah I think so I think so yeah I’d like like him to have those fights he’d like to have those fights too and they’re big exciting fights aren’t they so um you
Know Joe’s got to take all these hard fights no one else has taking these hard fights Joseph is the only one taking all these hard fights taking all the fights nobody else wants really ask you to cash your mind into the main event andar proved himself as a worthy fighter sending Ty crashing
Down to the canvas why should people not underestimate him in this fight against Joshua because he’s a massive man unit solid and robust very hard to hurt MMA background very tough physically big can punch and is patient when you were two big man in the heavyweight division but you’re in
Against a bigger man a really bigger man as AJ finds himself against Francis and aru mentally just is that a fact that when you were in fights when you were against taller bigger opponents maybe you didn’t F the physical advantages was that ever something of a concern or
Something that you’d have to factor in yeah I think you but for lik of Tyson and AJ they’re always the bigger man in all of their fights in weight and in height and that wasn’t the case when he fought in GH it won’t be the case when AJ so there’ll be
Something he’ll have to deal with be a new experience for him the other thing is sorry take take a cof it’s the sand isn’t it it gets back and Thro take a sip if you want cuz I got a long question for you here one thing I’ve
Noticed here that Fran G might not have the most efficient or proficient of Jabs but he has those big long arms which tyur found a problem now he’s going to punch I imagine with anti Joshua which should also be a problem there but when someone who doesn’t have a big jab but
Has those long arms how do you counteract that what do you do to to come over that paint but in Ghana doesn’t reative faints I don’t know if he’s he’s very calm and patient um and you’d imagine or you could say that because he’s not from a boxing background he doesn’t respect faints
Because he’s not used to seeing it and guys who yeah so I just in is patient fighter and he’s good fighter and he has a massive punch so he’s going to be dangerous he has like you said he has extremely long arms too so uh yeah I think he’s a he’s a good
Match up for these guys and that’s a shame for me to say because hate to see someone just walk in from MMA and challenge the best of behwe boxing but when you’re that size and have those physical attributes you can do that and they haven’t caught up you since the
Newsbook about titon Fury having to pull out the fight because of the cut a lot of people kind of criticized him for a mad of mad of reasons but the fight is rescheduled what was your thoughts of people piling in on Fury when Cuts happen kind of all the time and it’s
Legitimate reasons well anybody like any you can see the respon from anybody who knows boxing or any ex fighter it was on just casual people just you know trolls and who criticized them really anyone knows whoever’s anybody who’s box knows that a cook can happen
At any time and they do happen all the time um sometimes you’re not too bad way you can continue to fight but it’s a serious cut and he has decide to take a break yeah does the delay in time favor anybody at all can you can that point in
Someone’s favor because I think usk is the older fighter so maybe you little bit age definitely makes the fight bigger builds it big even bigger than it does doesn’t it yeah and you leave the final word with you bringing it back to Joe Parker what happens in that fight
What happens in Joon Yang Joe’s GNA knock him out the last round come on can I have a donut what have you gone for chocolate thank you very much Andy you enjoy it enjoy the SPs of War also at the weekend thanks take out sir good man A
