Joseph Parker-By Matali.

Joseph Parker

Joseph Parker is my role model. He is a boxer and he fights in the 103 kgs division. He has won a lot of  boxing belts and he has knocked out heaps of fighters. Joseph Parker is a humble boxer when he knocks people out.

I want  Joseph Parker to visit my room so he can teach us kids some boxing moves and how not to give up.
