There are several lengths that a boxer is willing to go to to maintain his dominance inside the ring. It seems that consuming uncooked fish from the sea is now part of having a competitive edge. As such, heavyweight boxer, Joseph Parker is returning from several significant victories over Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang. He still appears to be in relentless pursuit of his next big victory. Yet, he could be taking it too far with his latest video.

Parker has been training ever since his upset victory over Wilder in the ‘Day of Reckoning’ co-main event. Wilder was expected to win the fight and challenge Anthony Joshua, but this changed due to Parker. Simultaneously, he again managed to defeat a hard-punching boxer after he defeated Zhang in his next fight. As such, Parker is currently in training camp before his next big fight and was seen eating a fish raw.

Apparently, this approach to having fish is Parker’s way of getting a bit of extra protein. However, it is quite unhygienic because eating raw fish can result in tapeworms in their body. However, Parker does not seem to be bothered by this and was seen casually chewing down a raw fish.

In addition, the boxer has been going viral on social media for his hilarious call-out videos. At first, he targeted his rival, Dillian Whyte, for a fight. Subsequently, a few weeks later, Parker posted another hilarious video in which he called out Joshua for a rematch.

Parker’s country is surrounded by water, and seafood is deeply woven into their cultural identity, with their forebears savoring these delicacies for many years. However, this didn’t save Parker when viewers from around the world viewed the video. A user pointed out that Joseph Parker could have obtained the same level of protein by preparing the fish differently.

It’s important to note that preparing the fish doesn’t diminish its protein content; instead, it simplifies the digestion process for the body. As such, fans pointed out how unhygienic it was to eat the fish raw.
