Former All Blacks number eight Zinzan Brooke likes what he sees in Kiwi heavyweight Joseph Parker, as the undefeated WBO champion prepares for his world title fight with Anthony Joshua on Sunday.

Attending an event at New Zealand House in London, 58-Test veteran Brooke got up close and personal with Parker, wishing him all the best for Sunday's fight.

"I think he's right up for it," Brooke told 1 NEWS.

"I wish him all the best."

Brooke also gave his insight to how he thinks Sunday's bout will play out.

"He's certainly got a busy night.

"Do I think he's up for it? Yeah I think he's up for it. It's about making sure he has his down time to prepare for the match.

"He just needs to focus on his opponent, don't worry about the 80,000 people."
