Joseph Parker may not have the majority of fans heading into his unification fight with Anthony Joshua on Sunday in Cardiff, but he certainly has some of New Zealand's finest there cheering him on.
Actor and New Zealand icon Temuera Morrison is in Wales to support the Kiwi heavyweight, telling 1 NEWS he felt priveledged to be witnessing New Zealand sporting history.
"At this level, for four belts, it's incredible, just the fact that he's got this far and he's in the ring," he said.
"I'm here as aproud New Zealander to support Joseph."
Morrison pointed out there's one key aspect about Parker that everyone seems to be forgetting heading into the bout.
"The one thing I haven't heard about him and I've been listening to all the talk is the fact that he's a Samoan warrior.
"The likes of Ray Sefo, Mark Hunt, David Tua - to mention three great Samoan athletes and here we have Joseph Parker."
