Tyson Fury opens up on relationship with Joseph Parker and claims he’s now his ‘part-time manager and financial advisor’
TYSON FURY revealed he will NEVER fight Joseph Parker, who he advises and manages part time.
The two formed an unlikely friendship after Parker beat Fury’s cousin Hughie in 2017.
They have since become training partners and inseparable pals, ruling out a future bout between them.
Fury told BT Sport: “Joe’s a friend of mine, and we’ve made it clear we’ll never fight each other anyway.
“I’m Joe’s mental advisor, financial advisor, part-time manager, part-time business partner and part-time mentor and life coach.
“So why would I want to fight that guy? Although, we do a lot of sparring in the gym.”
The two only spar to the body but Parker, 30, has based himself in Fury’s home of Morecombe under coach Andy Lee.
He is also the perfect man to have around for the Gypsy King due to his 2018 fight with Dillian Whyte.

Fury, 33, fights Whyte, also 33, on April 23 at Wembley Stadium and has been getting tips from Parker, who was beaten by the Brit on points.
The WBC champion said: “Joe’s been over here for about a year now, I believe. We call him ‘Morecombe Joe’ now.
“Great guy to have around camp, obviously he’s fought Dillian Whyte before, he knows what Dillian Whyte does best and what he does bad.
“So it’s very, very handy to have Joe in camp, giving me those advice tips.”
