Episode 10: Joseph Parker is a professional Kiwi boxer. Despite being New Zealand's first-ever WBO Heavyweight Champion, Joseph is adamant that being a father is his greatest achievement. When he's not spending time with his four daughters, he's either fishing or playing guitar.
In this episode, Joseph opens up about how he rose to the top. Even though he had his first fight at 12, he was a broke teenager flipping burgers at McDonald's trying to earn a shot at going pro. He goes into detail about his training regime, why he thinks boxing teaches mental toughness, and what it's like stepping into the ring and getting knocked out — even when you thought the gameplan was watertight.
If you've ever wanted to get to know New Zealand's greatest boxer, or more about the sport itself, you definitely want to tune in.
