When we talk about the best prospects in Heavyweight boxing next to nobody rivals the exceptional Joseph Parker (9-0, 8) who continued his rise through the ranks this past Saturday as he dominated American veteran Brian Minto (39-8, 25).
Parker, one of the few Kiwi's of note in boxing, dropped Minto in rounds 5 and 7 before Minto retired in his corner conceding defeat to the younger, fresher, faster, more skilled and more powerful fighter.
With this win Parker claimed the WBO Oriental title and defended his PABA interim title as he moved towards a world ranking.
Although not the complete article Parker is more proven and tested than any other prospect in the division and he seems happy to face better tests than the likes of Anthony Joshua, something that he needs to be given major credit for.
