![]() ![]() ![]() On July 5, 2012, in Auckland, New Zealand, Parker debuted as a professional boxer against his country's challenger Dean Garmonsway. In 2010 he won the silver medal at the Summer Olympics, the Commonwealth Boxing Championships, was bronze in the"AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships"and gold in the"Arafura Games"among others. Two-time champion of the"New Zealand Amateur Heavyweight Champion"in 20 and also won many tournaments and accumulated several victories in the international circuit. The beginnings of his rookie career were a success. Recently, in November 2016, she became the father of a baby named Elizabeth Ah-Sue Sala Parker, a combination of her sister's name and her mother's name. His older brother is John Parker, a professional boxer and his younger sister Elizabeth Parker. He was trained by the excellent boxer Manny Santos. His father always bestowed on Parker and his brothers boxing accessories and related toysĪt the age of ten, he joined the"Papatoetoe Boxing Club"a boxing club, with the goal of learning more about the sport. All his life has been related to boxing, his first introduction to this sport was when he was very young, about three years old.Īs a child he used to play with his father by hitting his open palms, alluding to boxing. He grew up in Mangere, Auckland along with parents Dempsey and Parker. In December 2016 he was ranked fifth best heavyweight according to the Transnational Boxing Ranking Board record and the sixth best according to"The Ring Magazine"and"BoxRec". He is the first boxer in New Zealand and the Pacific Islands to be raised with a world championship title as a heavyweight boxer. Subsequently, after defeating Andy Ruiz earned the WBO heavyweight title. He turned professional in July 2012 with Duco Events in Auckland under the tutelage of Sir Bob Jones. Follow Bobby Mac's Straight Shooter on WordPress.He represented New Zealand as a rookie at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in the super heavyweight division.International Boxing Research Organization.You stepped up as an emergency replacement when nobody else would. I’m fully locked and loaded for the Joshua and Ruiz rematch that cuts out them other fools for another year as they diddle each other over scraps, and super congrats Andy Ruiz. Joshua already beat the rest of their list save Kubrat Pulev who probably turned him down and been circling the drain for some time now.Īndy the best thing that has happened to boxing since Joshua came along by exposing the sheer scale of idiocy of some of the top heavies and their promoters and media, and sadly the fans that drink this koolaide. Moreover not only was Wilder ducking Joshua by refusing a $100 million DAZN deal that included Joshua, but Fury ducking as well as Ortiz and Adam Kownacki were. Net result is Andy now has 4 belts, is the new people’s champ, and Ring’s own champion by their own rules save they ignored their rules, ignored being the root of their ignorance. Ring’s own rules state that when #2 refuses to fight #1, then #3 shall suffice for the winner to take the Ring champion belt, so defacto not only was Josh the peoples’ champ, he was the Ring champion when he beat Parker by Ring’s own rules, his status when he fought Andy, but for whatever the reason, Ring refused to crown him. Then Tyson Fury clowned the thug to a draw. The Bama Bambi needed the ref to buy Bambi extra time, at least 30 sec or more. At that time Bambi had already refused to fight Joshua, instead fighting Luis Ortiz whom he first ducked for having to take ol’man bloodpressure meds, now 40 years old who blasted him from pillar to post. The next year he fought Ring #3 Joseph Parker that included a 4th belt, the IBO. When Anthony Joshua KOed Wladimir Klitschko to unify the title for all 3 belts, the Bronze Deontay Wilder Bambi was in the middle of a string of TBA short notice defenses that Floyd Mayweather Jr was infamous for in his latter years, apparently a part of the Haymon mantra now. My take on modern ratings in context to the massive upset is as follows: They could shift seconds after I publish this. ***Boxrec rankings are only good for a moment in time.
