"At the back of my head I've got Joshua's image in front of me, knowing he's a huge guy,"

"Heavy arms, heavy hands, muscular, quite a bit taller than Joe. But I'm trying to think it's just another fight."

Don't think she thinks about all opponents like this.. she even said shes just trying to think of it as just "another fight".. so obviously this fight is more "scary" than just another fight.

It's the biggest fight of his career in which the opponents have got progressively better. I can see what you're trying to drive at and think it's a little tragic tbh. She has already said she has worried about every fight so calm yourself down.

This is a good fight. I'm looking forward to it.

I don’t know what the big fuss is all about. As a unbeaten champion he should be more than capable of looking after himself. What about all the mothers of journeymen boxers and other sacrificial cannon fodder that are thrown to young promising up and coming fighters to pad up their records? Now they are the ones that should be worried after their sons safety in the ring.

Most moms are like that. And Joshua is the sternest test for Parker to date where he won't be the favourite to win. What he says doesn't mean anything for the fight.
Having said that, I prefer pac or Canelo's mom with the jinx and curse. Lace a pair of gloves, they probably get into the ring themselves lol.

If you can score Hughie as the winner of the Parker bout I guess you'd have a case for calling Wilder the winner against Povetkin.

He even ran so fast he got out of the country.

EDIT: WRONG THREAD

I recall Parker's mum being frightened when Joseph met Wilder in the locker room. Don't know the exact details, but Deontay and the bomb squad soon sent her boy packing.

Why did Headvetkin try to cheat? Pass fail pass. He tried to cheat because he was scared of Wilder. You guys never have an answer. Never lol...

Terry Tuteru's mum would have more to worry about.

The hulking Joshua is indisputably Parker's sternest test to date and for as much as his mum prefers to take a clinical view of things, she admits she's doing her best to look past the hype as a means of coping with the danger her WBO champion son is putting himself under.

"At the back of my head I've got Joshua's image in front of me, knowing he's a huge guy," she told Newshub from the family's Papatoetoe home.

"Heavy arms, heavy hands, muscular, quite a bit taller than Joe. But I'm trying to think it's just another fight."

She admits that the uncertainty of the outcome takes a heavy toll, so much so that she finds it hard to even muster any sense of pride in her son's achievements, at least until the result has played out.

"I guess I'm more worried than proud, because the fight is not yet done. And I do not know what's going to happen in that ring.

"When he wins that's when I perhaps feel that way, but in the meantime no to be honestâ€¦I don't feel proud at all.

"What if anything happens in the ring? I don't want to watch him on the floor, getting hurt or anything. So being proud is far, far, far away from me and my husband."

"I worry about every fight...every single fight ever since he was an amateur. I've been there since his first fight, so I'm not sure how I'm still alive," she says with a smile.

While it's something she's learnt to live with, there's already something different about this one which has had her more on edge prior to the pair's departure after their recent family holiday in Samoa.

"I got really, really emotional. I was crying all week before they went away.

"We play together and shadowbox together, then when they leave it's half of yourself gone too, because you know they're not going to be around for some time," she said between the tears.

"It's a bit scary. But he said 'don't worry, you're going to see the best of me when I'm in the ring on the 1st, so that really helps comfort me."

Fears aside, the mother of two has no doubt that her son's capable and utterly committed to the cause.

"He's worked really hard for the past five years to get to where he's heading now, to unify the belts for New Zealand and Samoa.

"It's not only about for him and his family, but he's looking at the two countries and his fans worldwide to repay their support and love for him."

The enormity of the pay packet on offer is something Sala downplays despite a prize purse which will likely be in the realm of $15 million. She's simply happy her son is able to make a good living and pave a future for his family using his exceptional talents in a sport he loves.

That, and the prospect of him finally moving out of the family home.

"Whatever money he's going to get, we just want him to get a house of his own so that he can get away from here," she laughs.

"No matter how many times I've told him he needs to move out, oh noâ€¦he still comes back home."

Whoever wins, let’s hope both fighters come out with their health intact.
