TYSON FURY has incredibly given his HOUSE to Joseph Parker to stay in while he trains to fight Joe Joyce.
Parker, from New Zealand, traded his Las Vegas base for Morecombe after linking up with coach Andy Lee, on the advice of Fury.
And together, they have been training in the WBC champion’s home gym in Lancaster and even sleeping at the Gypsy King’s.
Parker said: “This is the third camp with Andy. So we’re learning, I feel like I’m learning more. I feel like he’s added a few more things to my game.
“Tyson’s giving me his house, like, just the whole set up and everything that we have to make it a great camp has happened.
“So there’s no real excuse. If I go into this fight for me, I’m going to win because I’ve had the best camp.

“And, you know, just being realistic, if I don’t win then I’m not good enough.”
Parker, 30, first linked up with ex-middleweight champion Lee before his split-decision win over Derek Chisora, 38, in May 2021.
He then won the rematch in convincing style in December, which was his second camp under Lee, 38.
Their third will come on Saturday night against Joyce, 37, where the WBO interim title and a shot at Oleksandr Usyk’s belt will be on the line.

Fury, in talks to fight Anthony Joshua, 32, in December, has trained with Parker for the title bout.
And he joked the former WBO champ has nicked everything he owns, from coaches to sponsorships.
Fury, 34, said: “Joe’s literally taken everything in my life hasn’t he?
“He’s took my gym, he’s took my house, he’s took my trainer, he’s took my strength and conditioning coach, he’s took my nutritional company.
“What else have you taken? You’ve took my glove sponsor, you’ve took my cafe over.”
