It also contains footage of Tyson’s dad John furiously pounding at Parker’s stomach and ribs with a medicine ball.
This controversial training method was reported to have broke Tommy Fury’s ribs before his fight with Jake Paul, although Tommy denied it.
The video opens with Parker hammering the heavy bag, then moves on to him doing some pad work inside the ring as he works up a serious sweat.
Parker is looking sharp and explosive. He than practises body shots by blasting away at someone wearing protection.
He moves on to pad work with John Fury and a speed ball workout, followed by deadlifts, shadow boxing and pull-ups.
And many would argue some of what Parker posted in his YouTube video is not ideal, or at least a risky, preparation.
Parker faces Joyce in Manchester, coming off back-to-back wins against Brit Derek Chisora.
Parker is seen lying down in the ring beside Tyson, who shouts encouragement while dad John shows no mercy, beating Parker’s torso all over with a medicine ball.
Parker than returns to conventional gym workouts like squatting and dumbbells.
It remains to be seen if the brutal Fury methods will help Parker overcome Brit Joyce, with the winner moving one step closer to a heavyweight world title shot.

Punching Techniques
There are seven kinds of punches: Left Hook, Right Hook, Uppercut, Cross, Straight, Overhand and Underhand. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches require greater strength than others. A strong uppercut for example requires a lot of force. However, a straight punch is much more powerful and faster than other punches.
There are many combinations of punches. These are combinations of punches which work together to achieve a goal. One combination can have many parts. A combination may include multiple parts. For example, damage to the jaw of an opponent can be caused by a left hook and a right cross.
Guard Techniques
A boxer protects himself by using his body. He does this by using his legs.
Legs
To defend against kicks, a boxer should use his legs. He raises his leg when he is hit with a kick and then moves away from the opponent. To avoid being kicked on his side, he will bend his knees if the attack is from the front. However, if the attack comes from behind, he stands up straight and blocks the kick with his foot.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very effective because they inflict much pain. An elbow strike may be delivered directly or in an indirect manner. Directly means that you hit your opponent with your forearm while indirectly means that you hit him with another part of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use their hands as a shield against incoming punches. To do so, they raise their fists above their head and move them towards the direction of the attack. They then make contact with their attacker’s fist.
Knees
A boxer should bend his knees in order to absorb any blows to his stomach, abdomen, chest or stomach. A lot of boxers use knee strikes to defend themselves.
Feet
If he is being attacked, a boxer must take a step back and counter-attack. This way, he can gain distance between himself and his opponent. In addition, when delivering a counter-attack, a boxer should keep his balance.
Stances
Boxing is only possible if a boxer has a clear stance. The way he defends him will be dictated by his stance. It defines where he faces his opponent and how he positions his body. Boxers have many stances to choose from. These are the most popular:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Move your body
In order to win a fight, a boxer must move around his opponent. This includes changing speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
Boxers rotate their arms when they throw a punch. Different types of punches require different speeds for the rotation.
Combinations
The timing of each punch determines the effectiveness of a combination. A combination that is effective starts with a strong punch, and ends with one that is weak.
Spares
Sparring is a training session that improves boxing skills. A sparring session is where a boxer trains both his mind and his body. Sparring is a way to learn how to fight without getting hurt.
You need to have patience and dedication in order to learn how boxing works. You need to train hard and long in order to become a better boxer.
