“When I was growing up, I always wanted to do well in boxing. I wanted ...” — Joseph Parker Quote

“When I was growing up, I always wanted to do well in boxing. I wanted to look after my parents, and I wanted to look after myself.”

“All it takes is one punch, one big punch, and that could wreck everything for me.”

“A lot of boxers get along well. But if you have to fight each other, then leave that relationship behind.”

“I like very much to ride horses. I like soccer, I have had a passion for boxing since I was a child, although it would be stupid for me to box.”

“I was like any other kid: very normal, I can say. I just was a simple kid that came from a humble family and was taught by my father to be a family man and be committed to them. I stepped into boxing following my older brothers.”

“Handball, swimming, running, jumping, basketball, and boxing were as much a part of me as breathing.”
