0:04.0	Hello, welcome back to boxing conversations.
0:07.0	I'm joined by Zach Parker, who's going into the biggest fight of his career against Joshua Boatsy this weekend.
0:13.0	And it's a real acid test. Parker is one of those guys who has been pretty much written off condemned after a loss. And here he talks about
0:22.3	the pain he endured, probably psychologically, but certainly physically against John Ryder and why
0:28.5	he couldn't go on in that fight. He also talks about the light heavyweight picture,
0:33.1	Boatsi specifically, and talks about his career as a whole.
