Tyson Fury Claims Joseph Parker ‘Literally took everything’ in his life
Tyson Fury did a lighthearted look at his training partner Joseph Parker recently as part of BT Sport’s Workout Day feature about Joyce vs Parker, claiming the New Zealander had “taken everything” in Fury’s life.
Parker has lived in Morecambe and trained with Team Fury for the past 18 months, and it was through ‘Gypsy King’ that he linked up with current coach Andy Lee.
“Joe really took everything in my life, didn’t he? He went to my gym, he came to my house, he took my trainer, he took my strength and conditioning coach, he took the glove sponsor mine. “
Fury was in his typical cheerful form when asked if Parker had given him anything in return.
“F**k all!”
Tyson Fury: “Joseph Parker really took everything in my life…”
Andy Lee: “What did he give you?”
Tyson Fury: “F*** all.” 😂
Relationship between @Tyson_Fury and @joeboxerparker great.

When thinking about the connection with a more serious guise, Fury is full of praise for Parker and says he has integrated perfectly into life in Morecambe since deciding to move.
“Joe has had a bit of a bad time in his career and is really in a bad position. So I told him you can come here and train with me if you want.”
“So he came in and he joined and now he’s ‘Gypsy Joe!’ Everyone in Morecambe loved him and now he’s a Lancashire boy. “
Parker faces one of the most rigorous tests of his career this Saturday, when he face undefeated Brit Joe Joyce at Manchester Arenawith the winner all but guaranteed a world title in the not too distant future.
While Joyce is a huge challenge for Parker, there are few better coaching partners a heavyweight can desire than WBC champion and heavyweight champion Fury.
