Parker keen to prove doubters wrong

Parker left New Zealand yesterday as he begins preparation to fight against his undefeated heavyweight opponent.

The two were set to clash in Auckland on May 6th before Fury pulled out citing a back injury.

Now fighting away from home, Parker said he's keen to prove his doubters wrong.

"I know there's a lot of doubters out there but I'll use my fists and let my fists do the talking.

"I think I have to go there and knock him (Fury) out to make a statement so that's what I'm going to do," Parker said.
