Joseph Parker has once again shown why he’s the king of the internet with yet another hilarious and creative video that has gone viral on social media.
The New Zealander went viral last month for his attempt to convince Dillian Whyte to step back in the ring with him with a parody of the Take That hit ‘Back For Good’.
He then took inspiration from Ed Sheeran’s 2011 chart-topper ‘Lego House’ and mimed the lyrics in an attempt to convince Anthony Joshua to a rematch.
The clip includes Parker playing the guitar and painting while pretending to sing the song. There’s also footage of his defeat to Joshua spliced into the video as the lyrics: “And it’s so hard to say it, but I’ve been here before,” play in the background.
Parker even took a swipe at ‘AJ’ for holding during the first fight as Sheeran sings: “Don’t hold me down, I think my braces are breaking and it’s more than I can take!”. Elsewhere, shots of his wins over Wilder and Zhang are included to illustrate his return to the top of the pile.
The 32-year-old lost his WBO heavyweight title to Joshua back in 2018. After struggling to get his career back on track for several years following the defeat, he’s found his feet again over the last year. He shocked the world with a win over Deontay Wilder in December and has since gone on to beat Zhilei Zhang earlier this year.
