For the 24-year-old heavyweight on the brink of a world title fight, this really is a family business. Taylor helps run Parker's social media affairs, an increasingly important aspect of the professional fight game, including Parker's YouTube channel. Taylor, son of Parker's trainer Kevin, will be ringside at Manukau's Vodafone Events Centre, handing out advice, as well as water. My dad once told all of us, 'if you've put 100 per cent effort in at the gym, why be nervous on fight night'?" Having lived in the Barry residence in Las Vegas for three years, Parker, 24, is close to Taylor who hopes this is the start of a career in the fight game.
