“The Goal Was To Make People Smile”- Boxer Releases Video To Help People Through Tough Times

Joseph Parker has for us another amazingly shot and edited clip on Twitter. He’s doing so to help us keep our mind off the situation the world is currently in. And Tyson Fury is the one keeping him motivated.

Parker and almost every other sports personality’s career is on hold as of now. Coronavirus has put a stop to all live sporting action around the globe. So to keeps things light and entertain his fans, Paker had taken to social media. He’s been releasing clips and videos of him at home dancing and lip-syncing to music from the most popular bands and artists. This is his small contribution towards helping us all stay a little bit sane in these difficult times. These videos are definitely uplifting!

Joseph Parker is open to collaborations!

Parker said he’s even open to collaborating with other athletes. For example, Parker released a clip of him lip-syncing to The Foundations popular song, ‘Build Me Up Buttercup’. In that particular video, he was assisted by Fury, Hall of Fame ring announcer Michael Buffer, and others. Joseph Parker as a joke even said he’s open to a collaboration the next time Fury decides to break into a song after one of his fights.

Joseph Parker said, “Maybe for one of his [Fury] fights I could play an instrument and he could sing after the fight, that might be a bit of fun. I love to dance, I play music around the house and dance and sing. Just as with boxing, you have to have a good rhythm when you are dancing. Maybe after my boxing career, I can do something with dancing, who knows”

Parker also gave us details as to what goes into making these videos. He shared the inspiration behind these videos and their main purpose. He said, “The goal was to make people smile, we achieved that and it also makes us smile, it makes us happy that people are able to brighten up their day. At the moment we are not working on anything. Once we get ideas into our heads, we’ll give it a go. People are expecting big things now with the videos, funny or feel good. At the moment nothing, but hopefully something comes into mind soon. In times like this, I feel if we post something it should be quality over quantity. Something that uplifts, or something to brighten your day and take your mind away from what is happening.”

So that’s what Joseph Parker is up to this quarantine time. What do you guys do to keep busy?
