Before you listen to this BBC podcast I want to tell you why I love podcasting.

Hi my name's Tommy Dixon and I make podcast for the BBC. I'm a big fan of stories

always loved a good book but when I started commuting for my first job, I discovered

podcasts. I was blown away about how a creative idea and the right mixture of sounds

could take you into a whole new world full of incredible stories. You know, the type that

make you go, wow. And that kind of inspired me to give it a go myself,

which to cut a long story short led to a BBC training scheme and a whole new career given other people that exact same feeling. So if you want to hear

amazing stories that make you go wow like I did they're just a tap or a click

away on BBC sounds.

This is five live boxing.

Now in two weeks time I'll be back in Saudi Arabia when Antilly

Joshua fights Francis Engarnu.

But the chief support is another heavyweight fight and it's one that's really intriguing.

It's got something special about it. It's Joseph Parker who defied the odds last year to beat

the on Tijuana against Zilel L. Zhang, the man who twice smashed Joe Joyce

Tibet. Well, I wanted to speak to Parker and his trainer Andy Lee. So I got on a plane, I went to Dublin and I sat down with him.

I'm Steve Bunz and this is five live boxing. So we're in a suburb, a Dublin suburb. We're in a suburb,

I've got Andy Lee on my right, I've got Joseph Parker on my left.

No, I've been around Joseph Parker on my left.

Now I've been around Joseph Parker on and off for a while.

I've been out around Andy Lee for an awful lot of years,

but I don't know how Andy Lee and Joseph Parker became a fixture.
