‘White Buffalo’ Frans Botha backs Joseph Parker to KO Hughie Fury & unify world heavyweight division

South African boxer Frans Botha backs Joseph Parker to unify the world heavyweight titles.

Veteran Botha was Parker's first international scalp, being brutally knocked out by the young Kiwi inside two rounds in Auckland in 2013.

The 48-year-old has followed Parker's rapid progress since then and isn't surprised to see him now owning one of the four coveted belts as the WBO's world heavyweight champion.

Botha was a hard, fearless man. It was surreal to see him as Dave Higgins minder.

I just checked out Botha's boxrec, he has fought some big names (Klitschko, Lewis, Tyson, Holyfield) but lost to them all by stoppage, and it seems that his biggest claim to fame was a draw against Shannon Briggs. 60-odd fights, he has been soaking up punches for 24 years.

If Parker is dominant, Joshua and Wilder should be fearful of him!

[patrickdoherty]

He tried to break my arm lol botha Mike Tyson didn't take any prisoners 😂

[trondwillyfry]

Listen to him without watching, and everyone thinks it's the terminator

[danieljonesjones]

Parker is skilful and quick for a big man Maori blood true warrior spirit, the question is is tough good enough only one had visible abs .

[skunkweed]

It takes heart to be in the boxing game and Botha had it, when everyone was shit scared to fight Mike Tyson, Botha said I'll fight him, and fought some great names after that, both the Fury's wish they could say the same!
Botha has bigger balls than both the Fury's put together!

[memphisblue]

botha was a stand uo come forward fighter, even in his defeats he had heart n lots of bottle, good fighter for a white dude

[penaialogovae]

What a silly question. What is the key to success? Botha was never success in his career lol. He did well in the elite fighters. Have a good day.

[simonhh]

He's been punched in the head too many times...

[comfibold]

Slurring his words quite badly here. Sad...
