"We'll put on a great performance for everyone," he said.

"I'm here to take home those belts to New Zealand and Samoa, make everyone proud, and we're gonna celebrate!"

Saville then gave Parker a chance to stare down the camera lens and thank everyone for their support so far - an opportunity he took up happily.

"Thank you all for the great support.

"We honestly appreciate all the love, support, messages, videos - keep them coming.

"When I go to the ring I'll be fighting for us all."
