'Always respectful!' - Joseph Parker keeping it calm and cool before Daniel Dubois encounter
Joseph Parker says that he will be "always respectful" before his fights as he prepares to challenge Daniel Dubois in order to become a two-time world champion next month.
The New Zealander will face the Briton for his IBF heavyweight title as part of Riyadh Season's The Last Crescendo, live on DAZN Pay-Per-View on February 22 .
Parker, a former WBO heavyweight champion during a two-year reign between 2016 and 2018, has appeared calm and collected ahead of his biggest fight for some time.
Likewise, Dubois has kept his words to a relative minimum, and speaking at Monday's media event, his challenger continued to pay tribute to his foe before their clash.
"We don't really have a lot to say, the both of us," he told The Stomping Ground. "I probably say a little bit more than he does, but it's always respectful before the fight.
"In the ring, it is a different story. We want to bash each other up and win. Daniel is one of those opponents who has done very well.
"[Before Joshua], we didn't know who was going to win the fight at the time. I thought it was going to be Joshua, but he proved me and a lot of people wrong.
"He put on one of the best performances of his life. We've been waiting for a big fight for a long time.
"Now that we've locked it in we are preparing very well for this challenge in front of us, fighting the champion of the world."
