TYSON FURY revealed he has given Joseph Parker tips on how to beat Deontay Wilder – and backed his pal to win “EASY”.
Fury shared one of the most iconic trilogies in heavyweight history with Wilder.
They first drew in 2018 but the Gypsy King settled the score in the subsequent rematches with two stoppage victories.
So it leaves him with expert insight to share with Parker, who returns on Saturday night in Saudi Arabia against Wilder.
Fury said: “Don’t get hit in the face with one of them big KO right hands. You’ll be alright.
“Avoid the right hand! That’s my tip for Parker. What more else can you say? Don’t get hit by the right hand and you’ll win the fight.

“Easy day, isn’t it? Sounds easy, anyway. I think Parker will do him.”
Fury, 35, was dropped twice by Wilder, 38, in their 2018 original but still walked away feeling hard done by with a draw.
But he made no mistake in the rematch and trilogy bout to walk away and keep hold of the WBC belt.
Parker, 31, has been leaning on his advice during his training camp but the New Zealander knows he cannot completely replicate Fury.

He told talkSPORT: “Tyson was able to give me some advice and some knowledge on fighting Deontay Wilder.
“The only difference is I’m not 6ft 9in with the longest reach, so whatever my strengths are I have to use them to the best of my ability.
“He has given me a few pointers and advice and he’s actually helped me with sparring so any time I have needed Tyson’s help, he’s always been there, so thanks to him for always making time to help me, especially for this camp and this fight coming up.”
